The gown, the cap, and the hood, representing the major components of the academic dress,
are a ceremonial inheritance from the medieval universities of the eleventh and twelfth centuries
where dress was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility. The academic dress worn by those
participating in today's academic processional symbolizes the level of their academic attainment
and the institution they attended.

Gown
Advisers
Mr . Harvey L. Heath
Mrs. Pauline Manwaring
Miss Nola Weed
Mr . Robert Zanotti

Although the gown is more frequently black, certain universities have authorized the use
of colored gowns. The Bachelor and Master gowns are fashioned from black serge. The yoke
for the Bachelor gown is designed to be worn closed and features long, flowing and pointed
sleeves. The Master gown is designed to be worn open or closed . Its sleeves are very long, with
square ends, and the front part has an arc cut away. The arms protrude through a slit at the
elbow. The gown for the Doctor degree is made of wool, serge, or silk, with an open front,
faced with wide velvet panels. The sleeves are loose and bell-shaped with three bars of velvet
in black or the color of the discipline in which the doctorate was obtained.

1967 Class Gift
Funds to re-establish Recitation Hall Bell

Hood

The Ceremonial Mace

The most outstanding feature of the academic dress is the hood. It is usually worn only
for the Master's and the Doctor's degrees. The Doctor's hood is longer than the Master's hood
and has distinguishing panels. The College or the University granting the degree is indicated
by the color or coloring of the hood lining . The velvet trim of the hood indicates the field in
which the degree was granted.

The Ceremonial Mace, a symbol of presidential authority, is carried at the head of the
academic procession by the Grand Marshal. The Mace, a gift of the Alumni Association, was
designed and executed by Mr. Seymour Blinderman and Mr. Henry Katzwinkel of the Art faculty,
and was first used at the Inauguration of President Chester T . McNerney.

Cap

The Mace, nineteen inches high, is topped by a sterling silver sphere studded by cone-shaped
rubies . The neck of the Mace is inlaid with rosewood , alternated with silver fleur-de-li s. Cultured
pearl s mounted on cups encircle the top of the staff. Discs of silver interspersed with rosewood
compose th e shaft which ends with tip-casted silver. Sunken cultured pearl s encircle a rounded
cone with textured silver to end in a small globe.

The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. The tassel is black
for the Baccalaureate and Master degree, and is worn over the left front quarter of the cap.
The tassel for the Doctor's mortarboard is of gold thread. Undergraduates wear the tassel on
the right side of the cap until the moment the degree is conferred by the President. ·

The gown, the cap and the hood, representing the major "components of the academic dress, are
a ceremonial inheritance from the medieval universities of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, where
dress was the outward sign of privilege and responsibility. The academic dress worn by those participating
in today's academic processional symbolizes the level of their academic attainment and the institution
they attended.

Advisers

Mrs. Pauline Manwaring
Miss Nola Weed ·
Mr. Robert Zanotti

Although the gown is more frequently black, certain universities have authorized the use of colored
gowns. The Bachelor and Master gowns are fashioned from black serge. The yoke for the Bachelor gown
is designed to be worn closed and features long, flowing and pointed sleeves. The Master gown is designed
to be worn open or closed. Its sleeves are very long with square ends, and the front part has an arc
cut away. The arms protrude through a slit at the elbow. The gown for the Doctor degree is made of
wool, serge, or silk with an open front faced with wide velvet panels. The sleeves are loose and bell-shaped
with three bars of velvet in black or the color of the discipline in which the doctorate was obtained.

Hood

The Ceremonial Mace

The most outstanding feature of the academic dress is the hood. It is usually worn only for the Master's
and the Doctor's degrees. The Doctor's hood is longer than the Master's hood and has distinguishing
panels. The College or the University granting the degree is indicated by the color or coloring of the hood
lining. The velvet trim of the hood indicates the field in which the degree was granted.

The Ceremonial Mace, a symbol of presidential authority, is carried at the head of the academic
procession by the Grand Marshal. The Mace, a gift of the Alumni Association, was designed and executed
by Mr. Seymour Blinderman and Mr. Henry Katzwinkel of the Art faculty and was first used at the
Inauguration of President Chester T. McNerney.
The Mace, twenty-seven inches high, is topped by a sterling silver sphere studded by cone-shaped
rubies. The neck of the Mace is inlaid with rosewood, alternated with silver fleur-de-lis. Cultured pearls
mounted on cups encircle the top of the staff. Discs of silver interspersed with rosewood compose the
shaft which ends with tip-casted silver. Sunken cultured pearls encircle a rounded cone with textured silver
to end in a small globe.

The standard cap is the mortarboard, usually the color of the gown. The tassel is black for the
Baccalaureate and Master degree and is worn over the left front quarter of the cap. The tassel for the
Doctor's mortarboard is of gold thread. Undergraduates wear the tassel on the right side of the cap
until the moment the degree is conferred by the President.

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater glorious,
Fresh wreaths we bring to bind thy brow;
Trials past thou hast withstood victorious,
Never fairer, never statelier than now.

Love thee, serve thee ever,
While class speeds class,
As swift years pass
To thee our hearts are true.
