Academic Heraldry The caps, gowns, and hoods worn at college and university functions date back to the Middle Ages. Monks and students of those days wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th century castles and halls of learning. The gowns for the bachelor’s degree, earned after undergraduate study, have long pointed sleeves and are designed to be worn closed. The holder of the master’s degree wears a gown with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The sleeve base hangs down and the rear part of its oblong shape is square-cut. The gown may be worn open or closed. An alternate and older master’s gown also is permissible. This gown is always worn open, has a long sleeve that is square and closed at the end, and has a slit near the elbow which permits the forearm to come through. Gowns for the doctor’s degree may also be worn open or closed, but they carry broad velvet panels down the front, and three bars on the full, round open sleeves. This velvet trimming may either be black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains. Academic gowns for each level are black, although there are a few institutions that permit doctoral recipients to have gowns of the characteristic institutional color, such as Cornell (camelian red and velvet trim and sleeve bars outlined in white), Harvard (crimson), Princeton (black with orange trim) and Yale (royal blue and black trim). Caps may be of serge, broadcloth or, for the doctor’s outfit only, of velvet; the tassel is black or the color appropriate to the subject, except the doctor’s, which may have a tassel of gold bullion. It is the hood that gives color and real meaning to the academic costume. (The bachelor’s hood is sometimes worn upon completion of the course, even though the degree has not yet been actually conferred.) A black shell of varying size for the three degrees, and of material to match the gown, is silk-lined with the color of the institution conferring the degree. The hoods for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are the same shape, while the doctor’s hood is both larger and of a different style, having a flat panel at the back. The hood is bordered with velvet, of the proper width to indicate degree, and the color signifying the field of learning to which the degree pertains. The colors indicative of the various fields of learning are as follows: Agriculture ............................................Maize Arts, Letter, Humanities .........................White Commerce, Accountancy, Business .......Drab Dentistry ...............................................Lilac Economics.............................................Copper Education ..............................................Lt. Blue Engineering ...........................................Orange Fine Arts, including Architecture ...........Brown Forestry .................................................Russet Journalism .............................................Crimson Law .......................................................Purple Library Science .....................................Lemon Yellow Medicine...............................................Green Music ....................................................Pink Nursing .................................................Apricot Oratory (Speech) ...................................Silver Gray Pharmacy ..............................................Olive Green Philosophy ............................................Dark Blue Physical Education ................................Sage Green Public Administration, including Foreign Service .................................Peacock Blue Public Health ........................................Salmon Pink Science .................................................Golden Yellow Social Science.......................................Cream Social Work ..........................................Citron Theology ...............................................Scarlet Veterinary Science.................................Gray It is important to note that the color of the velvet trimming on the hood indicates the subject to which the degree pertains. The “bachelor of engineering science degree” should have orange trimming for engineering, rather than the golden yellow of science. The doctor of philosophy degree requires dark blue because the degree designation does not necessarily identify the major field of study. If more than one degree is held, the gown and hood of the higher degree are usually worn. Holders of several doctors’ degrees may make a choice of hood for any particular reason. NOTE: The candidates presented for degree conferral and honors designation in this program are subject to final confirmation by the college.
