arship.has.created.a.very.positive.experience.while.attending.college .I.received.the.Grace.Joan.Love.Schneider.Endowed.Scholarship.this.past.semester.and.it.enabled.me.to.spend.more.time.on.homework.and.studying.outside.of.the.classroom.because.I.did.not.have.to.work.as.many.hours.at.my.job.in.order.to.pay.for.school .I.am.very.thankful.to.the.scholarship.donor.and.hope.that.many.more.scholarships.will.be.awarded.so.that.others.will.have.the.same.positive.experience.that.I.did .The.next.step.for.me.after.graduation.is.becoming.a.mechanic.at.Skyland.Automotive,.where.I. currently.hold. an. internship .

Wearing.of.academic.regalia.is.one.of.the.oldest.and.perhaps.least.understood.of.all.

the.traditions.associated.with.collegiate.education ..Formal.academic.dress.has.been.worn,.often.required.daily,.in.European.colleges.and.universities.since.1321 ..In.contrast.to.today,.the.regalia.may.have.provided.needed.insulation.against.the.damp.cold.of.unheated.medieval.university.classrooms.and.libraries

The.first.code.on.academic.dress.in.America.was.devised.in.a.conference.at.Columbia.University.in.1895,.and.was.based.upon.the.academic.dress.in.use.at.Oxford.University ..The.American.Council.on.Education.appointed.committees.to.review.this.code.in.1932.and.1959 ..The.academic.regalia.that.is.seen.on.campuses.today.meets.the.requirements.of.the.Academic.Costume.Code.published.in.1960

Gowns.for.those.with.Bachelor’s.degrees.have.pointed.sleeves;.those.with.Master’s.degrees.wear.oblong.sleeves,.and.holders.of.Doctoral.(Ph D ).degrees.wear.bell-shaped.sleeves ..Most.gowns.are.black,.but.some.exceptions.may.be.noted ..{For.example,.those.with.degrees.from.Columbia.University.are.authorized.to.wear.blue.gowns;.Dartmouth.College,.green;.Harvard,.Cornell.and.a.few.others,.red }..Gowns.of.those.with.Doctoral.degrees.have.velvet.facing.on.the.front.and.three.velvet.stripes.on.each.sleeve ..This.velvet.may.be.black,.or.colored.to.indicate.the.field.of.study.in.which.the.Doctorate.was.awarded ..The.most.common.colors.found.in.the.velvet.stripes.on.doctoral.gowns.and.found,.likewise,.in.the.velvet.located.on.the.entire.edge.of.the.hoods.of.the.doctoral.apparel,.as.well.as.on.the.hood-edges.for.those.holding.Master’s.degrees,.are.listed.here

The.most.informative.part.of.the.regalia.is.the.academic.hood,.worn.around.the.neck.and.

shoulders,.extending.down.the.back ..Hoods.are.often.omitted.for.Bachelor’s.degrees.in.the.USA ..Master’s.hoods.are.three.and.one-half.feet.long,.while.Doctoral.hoods.are.four.feet.in.length.with.panels.on.each.side ..The.edge.of.the.hood.is.bound.with.velvet.in.the.color.appropriate.to.the.subject.in.which.the.degree.was.earned.(as.listed.above) ..The.lining.of.the.hood.shows.the.official.colors.of.the.institution.which.granted.the.degree

The.standard.academic.cap.is.appropriately.known.as.a.mortarboard.or.trencher ..Some.American.universities.award.caps.used.by.foreign.universities.

that.have.varied.appearances ..In.years.past,.only.those.with.Doctoral.degrees.wore.velvet.tams.(instead.of.the.traditional.mortarboards) .Today,.however,.many.professors/faculty.members.are.choosing.to.wear.a.velvet.tam.in.place.of.the.traditional.mortarboard.most.often.worn.by.students,.as.the.tam.is.more.comfortable.and.better.distinguishes.the.faculty.from.students ..The.tassel.for.either.may.be.black.(which.is.standard.for.most,.after.graduation),.colored.(as.listed.above),.or.gold,.in.the.case.of.those.with.Doctoral.degrees ..At.the.completion.of.graduation,.the.tassel.is.traditionally.moved.from.the.right.to.the.left.side.of.the.cap.(the.left.side.indicating.that.one.has.officially.“left”.the.university)
