The cap and gown and colorful hood so prominent in commencement ceremonies resemble, to some extent, articles of dress worn by church and university dignitaries in the Middle Ages. The cap and gown indicate that the wearer is a member of a university or college. The hood shows the degree the wearer holds.

The gown for the bachelor's degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn r en or closed. The doctor's gown has bell-shaped sleeves and may be worn open or \. Jsed. Down the front, the doctor's gown has a facing of velvet and three bars of the

same material on each sleeve. The facing and bars may be either black or the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. The cap is worn for all degrees; the doctor may wear a golden tassel.

Hoods are normally black with a colorful lining rolled outward. Bachelors' hoods are three feet long, masters' three and one half feet, and doctor's four feet.

For all academic purposes, including trimmings for the doctors' gown, edging of hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows:
