All candidates receiving degrees today will wear those colors. On master’s and doctoral hoods, the color of the hood Thank you! facings represent the academic discipline in which the degree has been granted — white for arts, letters or humanities; golden yellow for science; brown for commerce or business; light blue for education; turquoise for public administration; and salmon for health administration. Another distinguishing element is the length of the gown. The variation in length indicates the type of degree held by the wearer. The sleeves of the three types of gowns have different lengths and cuts. In addition, the sleeves of the doctoral robes have three horizontal velvet stripes, and the gown itself has a vertical facing in velvet down the front. Most American institutions have adopted black gowns, but some use other colors. Opinions differ concerning the origin of the caps worn in academic ceremonies. One view is that the “Mortar Board” is adapted from the wooden square used by masons. Another view maintains that it represents the book carried by scholars. The tassels worn on the caps vary in color. In some institutions, they represent the degree held by the wearer, but in most cases they are black. La Verne follows the tradition that the tassel is worn on the right side of the cap until after the degree has been conferred. At the close of today’s ceremonies, the university president will request that all graduating students move their tassels from right to left to symbolize their transition from candidates to graduates and alumni of La Verne.
