Notes on Academic Dress* The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as “academic.” European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress. However, when American colleges and universities adopted a system of academic apparel a half century ago, a code was devised for all to follow.

GOWNS The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, with the sleeve base hanging down in the traditional manner. The rear part of the sleeve’s oblong shape is square cut and the front part has an arc cut away. It may be worn open or closed. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no trimmings, but the doctor’s may be faced on the front with black or colored velvet and with three bars of the same across the sleeves. If color is used, it is the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains, and it matches the edging or binding of the hood. For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctors’ gowns, edgings of hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows: Agriculture – Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities – White Commerce, Accountancy – Drab Business – Drab Dentistry – Lilac Economics – Copper Education – Light Blue Engineering – Orange Fine Arts – Brown Forestry – Russet Journalism – Crimson Law – Purple Library Science – Lemon

Medicine – Green Music – Pink Nursing – Apricot Oratory (speech) – Silver Gray Pharmacy – Olive Green Philosophy – Dark Blue Physical Education – Sage Green Public Administration – Peacock Blue Public Health – Salmon Pink Science – Golden Yellow Social Work – Citron Theology – Scarlet Veterinary Science – Gray 17 20

HOODS Hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree. The binding or edging of the hood is the color indicative of the subject to which the degree pertains, except that the doctor’s cap may have its tassel of gold thread.

CAPS Mortarboards are generally worn as part of the academic costume. The long tassel fastened to the middle point of the cap’s top is either black or the color appropriate to the subject. It is customary for degree candidates to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and to shift them to the left when the degrees are awarded. This custom is in some respects a substitute for individual hooding. * Adapted from “An Academic Costume Code and Ceremony Guide,” (Washington, DC: American Council on Education, 1959).

Ceremonial Mace, Head of School Medallion & School Seal Historically, the mace is a symbol of authority dating from medieval times when knights carried them during processions with their kings.

As the tradition grew, the mace became a ceremonial symbol of peaceful leadership, and maces were embellished with jewels and metals.

Today, an independent school’s mace is carried before the Head of School, platform-party dignitaries, and faculty during commencement exercises and other academic ceremonial processions.

Head of School medallions are closely aligned with maces and are traditional symbols of authority. A Head of School medallion is typically inscribed with the seal of the institution and is worn over academic regalia on ceremonial occasions, particularly at commencements and academic convocations. The Head of School medallion honors the current Head of School, Rev. Robert J. Murray, O.S.A., and his predecessors, Rev. Donald F. Reilly, O.S.A. (President), Rev. Paul W. Galetto, O.S.A. (President), and Rev. Stephen J. LaRosa, O.S.A. (President).

An adaptation of the seal of the Order of St. Augustine, the seal of St. Augustine Prep, is one of the school’s most ubiquitous images.

The HEART is the symbol of love and charity, which is the first rule of St. Augustine. The CROSIER and MITRE symbolize the bishopric of St. Augustine, one of the Fathers of the Church. “TOLLE LEGE; TOLLE LEGE” (Take up and Read) were the words spoken by a voice heard by St. Augustine and which led him to his conversion.

SAPIENTIA ET SCIENTIA (Wisdom and Knowledge) is the traditional motto of Augustinian schools based on the knowledge and wisdom of St. Augustine. St. Augustine Preparatory School was founded in 1959.
