Later, universities and colleges adopted the mace as a symbol of the academic quest for truth and wisdom. It is carried in academic processions not only to bring authority to the ceremonial occasion, but to symbolize the unity and aspirations of the college community.
ACADEMIC REGALIA The use of the academic regalia costume, which seems to have originated in the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge, has been traditional in university life since the medieval times. In England and other European countries, academic attire generally is distinctive with each university so that very colorful ensembles of diverse styles are commonly used abroad. Unlike European academic apparel, the academic costume of American universities follows a regular pattern, the styles and colors having been established by an intercollegiate agreement in 1895. Cap, hood, and gown are prescribed in style. Color variations indicate differences in the field of knowledge presented and conferring institutions. The mortarboard cap is identical for holders of associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. For holders of the doctorate, the cap may be made of velvet and the tassel may be gold. Candidates for degrees wear the tassel on the right side of the cap, changing it to the left side after the degrees have been conferred. The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic attire. Used originally as a cowl, as a shoulder cape, and as a container in which to collect alms, it is now worn at the back, suspended near the shoulder. The hood for the master’s degree is three and a half feet long with a three-inch border. The doctor’s hood is four feet long and the border is five inches wide. The inner lining of the hood is in the official color or colors of the institution conferring the degree, while the color of the border indicates the field of learning in which the degree is earned. Faculty members who wear a medallion are recipients of the Excellence in Teaching Award in recognition of excellence in instruction and outstanding contributions to the College. Members of the graduating class are wearing academic regalia made up in colors of the College rather than in traditional black. The hoods worn by graduates receiving bachelor’s degrees are black with apricot trim to represent the field of nursing. Those who are graduating Summa Cum Laude (Highest Honors) wear a gold cord. Those who graduate Magna Cum Laude (High Honors) wear a silver cord, and those who graduate Cum Laude (Honors) wear a white cord. Graduates who participated in a study abroad program wear a stole with a flag of the country in which they studied. Officers of the Student Government Association and student clubs and organizations wear blue and green cords. Alpha Beta Gamma business honor society members wear blue and gold cords and Lambda Epsilon Chi legal studies honor society members wear purple and silver cords. Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society graduates, who wear gold stoles and tassels, are recognized for outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service. Veterans and service members wear a red, white, and blue military service cord in recognition for their service to our country.
