The academic regalia worn B.S.M.E. - Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by participants in today's commencement procession symbolizes the Brown, Susan Marie Greynolds, Andrea Lee degrees held and the institutions where degrees were earned. The style Helmbold, Dale Edward of these caps, gowns and hoods evolved from costumes worn during Ihrig, John David early religious processions to distinguish church and university mem­ Lloyd, Gordon Avery McCarty, Kevin William bers from the laity. Peters, Russell Benjamin, Jr. Skillman, Stephen W. Bachelor's and master's degree gowns traditionally are black, although some universities prescribe a school color for their graduates' gowns. The bachelor's gown has long pointed sleeves while the master's gown has a sealed oblong section at the wrist. Doctoral gowns are identified by bell-shaped sleeves with velvet crossbars.

The length of the academic hood, which drapes over the back of the gown, denotes the wearer's academic achievement. The hood's length, width, color of trim and the color or colors of the lining all are symbol­ ic. Linings, exposed in the center of the hood, indicate the colors of the degree-granting institution. For Saginaw Valley State University the col­ ors are cardinal red and royal blue. The trim satin for a master's degree, velvet for a doctorate reveals the wearer's major field of study. Width of the trim is two inches, three inches and five inches for the bachelor's, master's and doctor's degree, respectively. The master's hood is pointed; the doctor's hood is bell-shaped. The hood's length is three feet for the bachelor, three and a half for the master and four for the doctor.

The customary head covering is either the mortarboard or a soft beret modeled after the cap of Cambridge University. The tassel on the cap may be black or a color indicating the degree.

The SVSU Board of Control and the President wear regalia especially designed for them in SVSU's colors. Members of the governing board of an institution are entitled to wear doctoral gowns regardless of their academic degree.
