Regalia

Bachelor’s degree recipients wear drab brown tassels

Master’s degree recipients wear light brown velvet hoods

Doctor of Philosophy degree recipients wear blue velvet hoods

University Honors Scholars (Bronze Tablet) wear orange and blue braided cords on the left shoulder

The colors and costumes of today’s graduation ceremony date back to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, when universities were just coming into being. At that time, the long cloaks or gowns worn by clerics studying in holy orders were probably needed for warmth in the drafty, unheated halls while the hood, originally part of the medieval cowl, could be pulled forward or thrown back according to weather conditions. Over time, European universities developed academic vestments that were extremely varied and often richly embroidered.

Seeking to avoid the complexity and confusion of foreign academic ceremonies, American educators in 1859 adopted a uniform code of dress. Accordingly, the bachelor’s gown is designed to be worn closed and is distinguished primarily by its long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown has oblong sleeves that are cut out at the bottom of the front. The doctoral gown is distinguished by full bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet bars on the upper arms and velvet panels down the front. The mortarboard cap worn by all graduates is a style adopted from Oxford University.

The hood is the most striking feature of the academic costume. Its length and shape indicate the degree that is granted. The silk lining displays the official colors of the university granting the degree, while the hue of the velvet interior reflects that academic curriculum. You will note that the faculty in today’s ceremony are robed accordingly in the various styles and colors of the institutions from which they earned their degrees. The official colors of the University of Illinois are orange and blue.
