The History of Academic Regalia
The college or university commencement procession is a pageant bright with the dress and ceremony inherited from the medieval universities of the 11th and 12th centuries. The caps, gowns, and hoods were worn to keep students and professors warm and distinguish clerical and academic groups from laity. Academic regalia is worn today by those who play an academic role at commencements or other celebrations of scholarly significance. The traditional costumes were used in few universities in America prior to the 1880s. With the growth in the late 19th century of institutions of higher learning, American uni-versities in 1895 agreed on a definite system and set up a suitable code of academic dress for colleges and universities in the United States. In 1932 the American Council on Edu-cation presented a revised code, which, for the most part, governs the style of academic dress today.The Gown The flowing gown comes from the 12th century. It has become symbolic of the democ-racy of scholarship, for it completely covers any dress rank or social standing underneath. It generally is black for all degrees, with pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degree; closed sleeves for the master’s degree, with a slit for the arm; and round, open sleeves for the doctoral degree. Holders of doctoral degrees from some universities may wear gowns of bright colors agreed to by the granting university. For the bachelor’s or master’s degree, the gown has no trimmings. For the doctoral degree, it is faced down the front with velvet and has three bars of velvet across the sleeves, in the color distinctive of the faculty or disci-pline to which the degree pertains. Some of the colors most frequently seen and the fields of learning they represent are: blue—philosophy; purple—law; green—medicine; yellow—science; light blue—education; and red—theology.The Cap When Roman law freed the slave, he won the privilege of wearing a cap. So the academic cap is a sign of freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. For the doctoral outfit, the tassel may be of gold bullion. The Hood The hood is an inverted shield with one or more chevrons of a secondary color on the ground of the primary color of the college. The color of the facing of the academic hood denotes the discipline in which the degree is earned. The color for Physical Therapy is teal, Education is light blue, Occupational Therapy is slate blue, Health Care Administration is salmon, Economic Crime Management is purple, Business Administration is brown, Criminal Justice Administration is midnight blue, Cybersecurity is gold, and Liberal Stud-ies is yellow. The color of the hood lining denotes the institution awarding the degree, in this case Utica College’s colors – blue and orange.

The Mace of Utica College
The mace is a symbol of the unique mission of Utica College, which is to provide a college education that is accessible to all, liberal and human-izing, practical and purposeful. The basalt foot is a symbol of our commonality and shared predicament as children of the Earth, mother of all living things. Strength, endurance, and beauty are characteristics of the black walnut core. These characteristics are symbolic of the peoples who have come to share this culture. The inlays of woods from around the world are symbols of the interdependence of modern civilizations and the enrichment of the human life that results when we learn from one another. Peaceful common endeavor and its bountiful harvest are symbolized by the shaft of the mace, which has the form of a sheaf of wheat. Unity, totality, and perfection have been expressed by the sphere since ancient times. It was the shape of the cosmos, a symbol for the totality of vision that the seeker of wisdom pursues. Four metals are found in the mace. In ascending order, they are iron, bronze, silver, and gold. They were for ancient poets and thinkers images of the capacities and of the perfectibility of man. Beads of silver shot border for the College motto. They represent the multiplicity of disciplines that are pursued in the modern university. Love and transcending beauty are symbolized by the rose. It appears as a gratuitous asymmetry on the sphere. Made of gold, the most precious of
the metals, symbolic of the loftiest aspirations of man, the rose symbolizes the ultimate goals of human activity, wisdom, goodness and love. The mace of Utica College is a gift of the class of 1989. It was designed and made by James F. Caron, professor of philosophy, with the collaboration of professors Randall Huta, Edward Jones, Stephen Peek, Ralph Fimmano, and David Moore. The mace was adopted in 1990, just as the College was beginning its transition to an independent institu-tion, and its origin as a College of Syracuse University can be seen both on the mace and on the stand.

The Presidential Medallion
The medallion, with which the president is invested during the inauguration ceremony, is an emblem of office worn on official occasions of the College. It is hung on a chain, which is placed around the President’s neck. The medallion is a gift to the College from trustee Lauren E. Bull ’74. The face of the medallion bears the Utica College corporate seal, which incorporates a number of symbols. The focal point of the seal is a shield, used in heraldry, that represents UC’s “family ties” to Syracuse University as well as the UC community as a family. Its “U” shape stands for Utica and Utica College. The book represents learning and knowledge. The laurel, part of the UC-SU undergraduate academic seal, symbolizes honor and achievement. The peak on the bottom of the seal’s shield is an abstract representation of the Frank E. Gannett Memorial Library, the center of learning on campus. The arch, formed by white space, represents the archway at Plymouth Church through which thousands of students passed to take classes on the original Oneida Square campus. The five bars, depicted as the five stripes of white space stemming from the peak, represent the five areas in which the College reaches out to students to educate and develop them: liberal arts, sciences, professional studies, extracurricular activities, and continuing education. The dates on the seal mark three important years in the College’s history: its first year as a college (1946), its origins as a Syracuse University extension site (1933), and the year the College was chartered by the Board of Regents as an independent institution (1995).
General Seating

A link to these photographs will be sent to each student’s UC e-mail address within 72 hours of the Ceremony, and the pic-tures will be available for purchase on the photographer’s website. There is no obligation to order copies of these photos.
Graduating students and their guests are also welcome to take photographs during the ceremony, but please keep in mind that there are regulations regarding keeping aisles clear. We ask that you take any photos from your seat.
Recessional
All guests are asked to remain in their seats until the recessional is completed so that all graduates can exit the floor in a timely manner. All graduates will file out of the building onto the auditorium lawn near section 210. Guests may meet graduates outside on the lawn. (In inclement weather, graduates will exit off the floor into the lobby areas, where guests may meet them.)
Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities
Special seating will be available upon request. Only one other person may accompany physically challenged individuals into the special seating section. If you need assistance, please speak with a Utica College staff member. Staff will be located at both entrances of the auditorium. Persons with hearing loss should plan to sit in section 102 in order to be in close proximity to the sign language interpreters.
