Mtmbm art distinguishtd with a lavtnder and whitt cord. ACADEMIC DRESS rche academic costume worn today originated in the Middle Ages, when gowns and hoods kept scholars and clerics warm. The distinctive gown served to set the student apart from his fellow citizens, giving birth to the expression- "town and gown." rztntil after the Civil War, students at most American universities wore caps and gowns daily. They varied in design until they were standardized by the American Intercollegiate Commission in 1894. At that time it was decided that all robes should be black; bachelor's gowns were made of worsted material with pointed sleeves; masters' gowns of silk with long, dosed sleeves; doctors' gowns of silk with longer sleeves, and faced with black velvet from hem to neck and back. They also carry three velvet bands around each sleeve above the elbow. dt'oods are made of the same materials as the gowns, the length varying with the degree. The lining of the hood identifies the university by its colors. The border of the hood indicates the academic discipline in which the degree is earned. THE MACE rche University of Minnesota mace was carried for the first time in 1961 by Regents' Professor of Physics Alfred O.C. Nier at the inauguration of President 0. Meredith Wilson. It is an honor to carry the mace . ..6\rt professor Philip Morton designed the mace: a crystal sphere four inches in diameter surmounted by the North Star, symbol of the state of Minnesota, on a solid aluminum handle set with the University regents' seal. ~ 11@ kntJw ptJu Will bectJme a part q( oUi"nnestJta stradztitJn q(helping ttJ shape the foture q(health ccrre ~: -Dean Sandra Edwardson .
