CommencementFifty-Ninth
The style of caps, gowns and hoods worn at academic functions dates back to the Middle Ages. Then, monks and students wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty castles and halls of learning.
The gowns for the bachelor’s degree have long, pointed sleeves and are designed to be worn closed. The holder of the master’s degree wears a gown with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The sleeve base hangs down and the rear part of its oblong shape is square-cut. The gown is usually worn closed.
Another, older master’s gown always is worn open, has a long sleeve, which is square and closed at the end, and has a slit near the elbow, which permits the forearm to come through.
Gowns of the doctoral degree may be worn open or closed. They have broad velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the full round open sleeves. The velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains.
Academic gowns for each level are black, although a growing number of institutions permit doctoral recipients to have gowns of the characteristic institutional colors.
Academic protocol allows trustees, presidents and marshals of higher institutions to wear gowns that are specially designed and colored.
Caps may be made of broadcloth, serge or for the doctoral degree regalia only, velvet. The tassel is black or the color appropriate to the subject, although the doctoral cap may have a tassel of gold bullion.
It is the hood that gives color and real meaning to the academic costume. A black shell, of varying size for the three degrees and of material to match the gown, is silk-lined with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The hoods for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are the same shape, while the doctoral hood is both larger and of a different style, having a flat panel at the back. The hood usually is bordered with velvet of the proper width to indicate the degree, and of the color signifying the field of learning to which the degree pertains.
Colors indicative of some fields of learning are as follows:Agriculture - MaizeArts, Letters, Humanities - WhiteCommerce, Accountancy, Business - DrabDentistry - LilacEconomics - CopperEducation - Light BlueEngineering - OrangeFine Arts, Architecture - BrownForestry - RussetHome Economics - MaroonJournalism - CrimsonLaw - PurpleLibrary Science - LemonMedicine - GreenMusic - PinkNursing - ApricotOratory (Speech) - Silver GrayPharmacy - Olive GreenPhilosophy - Dark BluePhysical Education - Sage GreenPublic Administration - Peacock BluePublic Health - SalmonScience - Golden YellowSocial Work - CitronTheology - ScarletVeterinary Science - Gray
The colors of the State University of New York are purple and gold.
Dutchess Community College’s colors are buff and blue. The College colors have significance in the history of Dutchess County, in that during the American Revolution, the Continental Army stationed at Fishkill wore buff and blue uniforms. Candidates for graduation receiving associate degrees or certificates from Dutchess Community College wear blue caps and gowns. The tassels worn by the candidates, indicative of programs of study, are as follows:Associate Degrees Associate in Arts - White Associate in Applied Science - Yellow Associate in Science - GoldCertificates - Blue

ALMA MATER
We may labor, we may ponderIn our busy days at collegeOver people, places, problems great and small,But no matter where we wanderWith this shining thing called knowledge,We will return with joy and fond recall, to
Dutchess, pride of the Hudson Valley,’Throned high on Bowne’s eternal hill,Still ’round thee, our grateful memories rally,Alma Mater, just as they always will,Alma Mater, just as they always will.
’Tho we may leave our home and county,’Tho we may roam the world so wide,Forever, the memories of thy bounty,Alma Mater, will bring us to thy side,Alma Mater, will bring us to thy side.
– Ken and Helen Baldwin
