history of aCademiC regalia
The wearing of gowns by teachers and scholars is an ancient custom. The history of academic dress reaches far back into the early days of the oldest universities.
Tonight, you will observe caps, gowns, and hoods which indicate the highest degree the wearer has earned.
The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves.The gown for the Master’s Degree has an oblong sleeve open at the wrist,
like the others.The gown for the Doctor’s Degree has bell-shaped sleeves, and is faced down the
front with black velvet with three bars of the same across the sleeves.The black Oxford or mortarboard style cap is worn for all degrees,
but only the Doctor’s cap may be made of velvet.
It is the hood, which is the most importantand distinctive feature of the academic dress.
The doctor’s hood, of black cloth matching the gown,is four feet in length and made with a wide panel.
The Master’s and Bachelor’s hoods are three-and-one-half and three feetin length respectively. They are made of black cloth.
The hoods for all the degrees are lined with silk in the official academic coloror colors of the institution conferring the degree.
The binding or trim of all the hoods is of velvet or velveteen. The color of this velvet trim indicates the department or faculty to which the degree pertains, each
department having been assigned a different color; for instance, white is for arts, blue for philosophy, and so on.
This system established by the Intercollegiate Commission, when understood, enables anyone attending an academic function in this country to distinguish at a glance the bachelors, masters and doctors, and at the same time recognize the
university which has given the degree.
Bakersfield College graduates are wearing the associate stoles, caps and gowns tonight. Additionally, honor graduates are distinguished by the gold tassel on the cap
and the gold cord around the neck.
