THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER One Hundred and Fourteenth Annual Commencement Ceremonies SUNDAY,JUNESEVENTH NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR Academic Attire The distinctive attire of those participating in the academic procession rep­ resents a tradition that reaches at least as far hack as the fourteenth century when gowns similar to today's hecame the required dress at many European universities. Gowns were then a common form of apparel for hoth the clergy and the laity but today they survive chiefly in ecclesiastical or academic ceremonies such as the one we shatt witness this afternoon . The symbolism of the American style of regalia is described below. Variations may be ohserved in the attire of the graduates of foreign universities and of the several Amer­ ican institutions which have departed from tradition. The gowns for the three levels of degrees differ primarily in the sleeve. The hachelor' s gown has long pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master's gown is usttally worn open and has long square-cut sleeves with slits through which the forearms protrude. The doctor's gown has large heU-shaped sleeves with three velvet crossbars on the upper portion of the arm and velvet trimming down the front of the gown. The mortarboard derives from the Oxford cap and is generally hlack with a black tassel, although color is sometimes used to in­ dicate the field in which the degree was awarded. Gold tassels denote the holders of doctorates. The most colorful portion of the academic costume is the hood which varies in length from three feet for hache/or's degrees to four feet for doctorates. The color of the lining indicates the institution which granted the degree. The University's color is yet/ow. For the nine colonial coUeges the colors are: Harvard, crimson_- William and Mary, green, gold, and silver,· Yale, hlue,· Pennsylvania, red and hlue,· Princeton, orange and hlack_- Columbia, light blue and white,· Brown, hrown,· Rutgers, scarlet,· and Dartmouth, green and white. Space does not permit listing the colors of all the colleges represented in the procession. The color of the edging of the hood indicates the subject to which the degree pertains, for example: Arts, Letters, and Humanities, white,· Commerce, Accounting, and Business, drab,· Dentistry, lilac,· Edttca­ tion, light hlue,· Engineering, orange,· Law, purple,· Medicine, green,· Music, pink,· Nursing, apricot,· Philosophy, dark hlue_- Science, golden yellow,· and Theology, scarlet. Order of Exercises In keeping with the nature of the ceremonies and in order that all may see and hear without distraction, it is requested that those in attendance refrain from smoking and conversation during the ceremonies and from moving onto the field to take photographs. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. PROCESSIONAL THB AUDIBNCB IS llBQUBSTED TO llBMAIN SEATED WHILE TH11 ACADEMIC PROCESSION liNTERS INVOCATION THE REVEREND RoBERT H.
