Academic RegaliaAcademic regalia worn during graduation is based on attire from the 12th and 13th centuries when universities were being founded. Academic dress and accoutrements have been used in the United States since colonial times. To maintain tradition and recognition of academic regalia, little has changed in the symbolism of pattern and color since the Middle Ages. In 1895, an intercollegiate com-mission adopted a standardized code for the use of academic gowns, hoods, and caps, which included regulation of style and mate-rials. Colors were prescribed to represent different fields of learning. Since then, few revisions have been made to the code, which is followed by the majority of colleges and universities in the United States, including Auburn University.

GownsExcept for a few universities, academic gowns are all black. The bachelor’s gown is the simplest of the three types. The master’s gown is similar but has sleeves with an extra long extension. Because it represents the highest degree, the doctoral gown is fuller throughout and has pleated bell-shaped sleeves. It is trimmed with a velvet band that circles the neck and descends the front, and it has velvet bars on the sleeves.

HoodsHistorically, the academic hood was literally a garment to protect the wearer from foul weather. Today, it is the identifying symbol of the degree and the length indicates which degree it represents: three and a half feet for master’s and four feet for the doctoral degree. The velvet edging of the hood identifies the major field of learning; maize for agriculture, blue violet for architecture, drab for business, orange for engineering, light blue for education, russet for forestry, maroon for human sciences, white for liberal arts, golden yellow for sciences and math, apricot for nursing, olive green for pharmacy, and gray for veterinary medicine. The orange and blue satin lining shows that the degree was conferred at Auburn University. The faculty who march in the academic processional show a range of col-ors marking their degrees and institutions. The traditional rule for hoods is that a candidate for a degree should not wear the hood until the degree is conferred. However, at Au-burn University, master’s degrees are conferred en masse and degree candidates wear hoods throughout the ceremony. Recipients of the doctoral degree are hooded during the ceremony. These candidates do not wear the hood in the academic processional, but receive the hood when the degree is conferred.

Caps and TasselsThe black mortar board is the typical headwear worn; some faculty have black tams. All caps have tassels. Faculty and candidates for master’s and doctoral degrees wear gold tassels. Candidates earning a degree in pharmacy have olive-colored tassels to represent their field of study. Candidates begin the ceremony with the tassels on the right front side; after all degrees are conferred, they are instruct-ed to move the tassel to the left side.

GonfalonsGonfalons are banners that originated in medieval Italy to identify a state or office. In Auburn University commencements, each col-lege and school is represented by its own gonfalon, which is carried into the ceremony by a student marshal, who is selected from the graduating class.
