What is graduation? Our practice of graduation is derived from a tradition which reaches back to at least the medieval universities of Europe. Graduates are those who have been admitted to a degree. There is a strict hierarchy of degrees from “bachelor’ through to “doctor”. In admitting a person to a degree the degree is conferred on that person in a somewhat archaic ceremony which is reminiscent of the equally archaic ceremony in which a knighthood is conferred. What actually happens in a graduation ceremony is along the following lines. The Dean, who is the person responsible for the academic project in that particular Faculty and who can thus attest to the achievement of the particular student in reaching the required level, requests the Chancellor to confer the degree. The student then moves to the Chancellor and kneels before him. The Chancellor, who is the titular head of the University and who acts in the name of the University, then confers the degree by holding a ceremonial bonnet to the student’s head while saying “I confer the degree”. The student proceeds to the Registrar. The Registrar, who is the keeper of the records of the student’s endeavours, confirms the admission of that student to a particular degree by placing the appropriate hood over the student’s head. There is a hood for each degree. Hoods differ from each other in colour and shape. The three basic degrees are Bachelor, Master and Doctor. Bachelor has nothing to do with the usual meaning “a man who has never married” but with the garland of leaves and berries (from the Latin bacca lauri, laurel berry) worn by graduands long ago. A Master’s degree is conferred on a person who has achieved the mastery of a specific field of study. “Doctor” is from the Latin verb “to teach” and is an ancient academic title which dates back to the very first universities where it implied that the holder had a licence to teach in a university. Academic gowns are based on the clerical gowns (most scholars in Europe were monks or priests) worn in the Middle Ages in universities which would have been housed in poorly heated buildings. The hood is also derived from ancient times when it was attached to the gown and worn to keep the head warm. When not on the head it was pushed back to look more or less as it does when worn today.
