O say can you see, Through the perilous fight, That our flag was still there. By the dawn’s early light, O’er the ramparts we watched, O say does that star-spangled What so proudly we hailed Were so gallantly streaming? banner yet wave At the twilight’s last gleaming? And the rocket’s red glare, O’er the land of the free Whose broad stripes and bright The bombs bursting in air, And the home of the brave? stars, Gave proof through the night

ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia worn by faculty during commencement is based on attire from 12th- and 13th-century universities. Academic dress and accoutrements of this type have been used in the United States since colonial times. To maintain tradition and the conformity of academic symbols, little has changed in the symbolism of pattern and color since the Middle Ages. In 1895 an intercollegiate commission in the United States adopted a standardized code for the use of academic gowns, hoods and caps, which included regulating the cut, style and materials of gowns. In addition, colors, which were to represent the different fields of learning, were prescribed. Over the years, only minor revisions have been made to the code, which is followed by the majority of colleges and universities in America, including Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

There is no general rule on the position of the tassel on the mortarboard. However, numerous institutions have adopted a practice of requiring candidates for degrees to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred, and to shift them to the left side when the degrees are awarded to them.
