Academic Dress Origins and Influences
The academic dress in the United States has roots in British traditions, with added influences from continental Europe. An Inter-Collegiate Code outlines a uniform scheme, although adherence varies among institutions.
Gowns and Robes
- Bachelor's and Master's Gowns: Similar to those in the UK, bachelor's gowns are exclusively worn closed.
- Doctoral Robes: Typically black, some institutions opt for school colors. Doctoral gowns resemble those for master's degrees but include velvet stripes corresponding to the academic discipline. The sleeves are full and trimmed with velvet, differing from the bell sleeves on master's gowns. Designs may vary, some resembling capes or allowing for ties and cravats to be displayed.
Usage and Symbols
Academic dress in the U.S. is primarily reserved for formal ceremonies. The color of the hood signifies the wearer’s department or school. Additional adornments like cords or sashes denote specific academic achievements.
The Mortarboard and Tassel
The tassel's color often reflects university hues or the graduating discipline. A common practice is moving the tassel from one side to the other upon graduation. While practical during indoor ceremonies, this modern tradition offers a quicker alternative to older practices like hood conferral or costume changes, often seen in institutions like Oxford or some in Scotland.
