Academic Dress Historical Overview The origins of academic dress date back to the 12th and 13th centuries, when universities were being formed. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether student or professor, was the dress of a cleric. With few exceptions, the medieval scholar had taken at least minor orders, made certain vows, and perhaps been tonsured (admitted to the clerical state by clipping or shaving a portion of the hair on the scalp). Long gowns were worn and may have been necessary for warmth in unheated buildings. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The assignment of colors to signify certain faculties was to be a much later development, and one that came to be standardized in the United States in the late 19th century.

Gowns The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, like the others. The gown for the doctoral degree has bell-shaped sleeves. Gowns for the bachelor’s or master’s are untrimmed. For the doctoral degree, the gown is faced down the front with black velvet; three bars of velvet are used across the sleeves. These facing and crossbars may be of velvet of the color distinctive of the discipline to which the degree pertains, thus matching in color with the binding or edging of the hood appropriate to the particular degree in every instance.

Hoods The hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree; more than one color is shown by the division of the field color in variety of ways: chevron or chevrons, equal division, etc. In the case of the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, a dark blue color is used to represent the mastery of the discipline of learning and scholarship in any field that is attested to by the awarding of this degree and is not intended to represent the field of philosophy. Light blue trim is used for education. Prior to the 45th anniversary of our founding, school colors used for the hoods of Fielding graduates were cobalt blue (the satin field/background) and Kelly green (the satin chevron). As of the July 2019 ceremony, Fielding’s school hood colors are merlot/brick (the satin field/background) and white (the satin chevron).

Caps Cotton poplin, broadcloth, rayon, or silk to match the gown are to be used; for the doctoral degree only, velvet. A long tassel is to be fastened to the middle point of the top of the cap only and to lie as it will there-on. The tassel should be black or the color appropriate to the subject. The doctoral cap may have a tassel of gold.

Color For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctoral gowns, edging of hood, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different disciplines include: Arts, Letters, Humanities: White Communication: Crimson Education: Light Blue Law: Purple Library Science: Lemon Medicine: Green Philosophy: Dark Blue Public Administration: Peacock Blue Public Health: Salmon Pink Social Work: Citron Theology: Scarlet Edited from An Academic Costume Code by Eugene Sullivan of the American Council on Education.

Kente Cloth Kente is a hand-woven ceremonial cloth worn during special social and religious occasions. It is a visual representation of history, philosophy, ethics, oral literature, moral value, social code of conduct, religious beliefs, political thought, and principles of aesthetics. Scholars propose that Kente cloth can trace its origins to early weaving traditions in ancient West African Kingdoms. Best known of the kingdoms are the Asante, one of the many ethnic groups constituting the Akan people who live in part of Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire, a region that was home to the ancestors of many African Americans. Kente cloth is a royal art form worn as a cloth of prestige during such rites of passage as child naming, puberty, initiation, graduation, marriage, soul washing, burial, and ancestral remembrance ceremonies. It is used not only for its beauty, but also for its symbolic significance. Each cloth has a name and a meaning, and each of the numerous patterns and motifs has a name and a meaning. Kente cloth has achieved a tremendous international recognition and evolved into one of the tangible manifestations of an ever-growing sense of Pan-African camaraderie.

With the impact of modern technology and socioeconomic changes, Kente cloth has evolved into an art form and its social significance now transcends ethnic, cultural, and national boundaries. Kente Cloth information provided by the late Toni A. Gregory, EdD

Presidential Medallion & University Mace Academic commencement affords an opportunity to celebrate time-honored traditions which have been observed by institutions of higher education for hundreds of years. Two of those customs are for the President to wear the university Medallion and Presidential Chain of Office, and the Provost to carry the university Mace in the graduation processional. A medallion or seal of office has been a symbol of authority since seals were used to mark official documents in the Middle Ages. The Fielding Graduate University medallion features the Fielding seal engraved on bronze with a background in the university’s traditional merlot. The medallion hangs from a presidential chain of office, festooned with bronze nameplates for all seven Fielding presidents dating back to the university’s founding: Frederic M. Hudson 1975-1986 William H. Maehl 1987-1992 Donald J. MacIntyre 1993-1998 Judith L. Kuipers 2000-2009 Richard S. Meyers 2009-2013 Katrina S. Rogers 2013-

University Mace A mace, once a weapon in medieval combat, was adopted by universities as a symbol of the quest for truth. The Fielding seal with the words “Fielding Graduate University 1974” is engraved on the mace, in bronze, at the tip of the walnut staff. The mace measures 45 inches.

The Fielding Seal Appearing on both the medallion and mace, the Fielding seal was re-designed in 2019 as a celebration of the university’s 45th anniversary. It bears the “Fielding Open Triangle” icon, which is open to reflect inclusion, its three sides represent the three pillars of Fielding’s promise: • Scholarship for the rigor of our academics and research, and quality of our faculty • Community for the global network and connectedness of Fielding students, faculty, alumni, staff, trustees, and other stakeholders • Opportunity for the flexibility of our learning model and the possibilities that come with an advanced degree
