The hood is of three lengths: three feet for the bachelor’s hood, three and one-half feet for the master’s hood, and four feet for the doctor’s hood. The color of the velvet edging, which is wider for the higher degrees than for the bachelor’s hood, indicates the subject area to which the degree pertains. In addition to the colored edging, the hood shows in its lining the official colors of the college or university that awarded the degree. The hood is worn in such a way that a large part of the lining is visible.
In nearly every academic procession there will appear a few costumes that do not conform to the standard patterns described above. Gold braid is sometimes added to the gowns of academic administrators and trustees; the color of the trustees’ gowns may be specified by the college. Many faculties include a few members who hold degrees from foreign universities, some of which prescribe very colorful regalia of varying designs.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT UNION MACE
The mace is traditionally carried by the university marshal on formal academic occasions at many institutions of higher education. Originally a weapon of war, the mace today has become a peaceful symbol of the authority accorded a university that regularly grants academic degrees to students who have fulfilled the requirements for graduation in one of the several fields of study offered by that university.
The University of Mount Union mace is constructed in part of wood from the Old Carding Mill in Alliance, where the first University classes were held on the third floor on October 20, 1846. The sections at the top and bottom of the mace are emblematic of the lamp of learning at the center of the University seal. It is fitting that a portion of the Old Mill thus survives as a continuing symbol of the excellent liberal arts education that continues to be a hallmark of Mount Union.
THE FLAGS OF THE NATIONS
The University of Mount Union serves as the educational institution for many international students each year. The University acknowledges the importance of these students to the campus community by displaying the flags of their home nations in the lobby of the Kolenbrander-Harter Information Center throughout the year. This year, we especially recognize the nations of our international student graduates – Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, and Spain. The flags of these nations are displayed as part of our graduation regalia.
