Ceremonial garments worn at academic functions take their meaning from the original centers of learning of the western world in the Catholic Church of the Middle Ages. Ceremonial garments used by very old universities today resemble the attire of the Catholic clergy. As universities developed across Europe and education engaged in a leadership role in the development of civilization, the leaders in academia maintained the traditions of the first universities that were born in Europe. Educators thus used the medieval system of classic heraldry to denote the distinctive differences among degrees and universities granting them.There are three pieces of academic attire - the gown, the hood, and the cap. Of the three, thehoodreveals the most information about the wearer. The inner lining identifies the institution where the individual earned the degree; the velvet trim on the hood's border indicates the major field of learning in which the degree has been earned. Most of our faculty members have hoods with a light blue velvet trim, indicating a major in education. Another feature of the hood is its length and width, which distinguishes it further among holders of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. The length of the bachelor's hood is three feet, closed at the bottom, and the velvet border is two inches. A master's degree hood is three and one-half feet in length with a three-inch wide border and is slit at the bottom. Those individuals with doctoral degrees wear a hood four feet in length, open at the bottom, with a five inch border. The gown is usually black in color, though some universities have adopted distinctive colors for their robes.The cut of the gown itself distinguishes the degree holder. The bachelor's gown is simple and falls in straight lines from an elaborate yoke. It is recognized easily by its long, pointed sleeves. The sleeves are oblong in shape and open at the wrist, with the rear part of the oblong square cut, while the front edge has a cutaway arc. The doctor's gown is more elaborate, with velvet panels down the front and around the neck of the garment. The sleeves are bell-shaped at the end and have three bars of the same material as the front panels at the upper portionof the arm. It is cut rather fully and may be ornamental in color.The following table lists the major fields of learning identified by the velvet trim border of the hood.
