Academic costume and rega lia

Academic gowns date back to the 14th century, when they served two functions of nearly equal importance: to indicate the academic rank of the wearer and to keep the scholar warm in the drafty stone halls of academia.

The markings, cut, and color of the modern-day academic costume- cap, gown, and sometimes hood- indicate the academic degree, the field of study, and the institution that granted the degree.

Degree candidates wear the gowns appropriate for the degrees they are about to receive. Bachelor's degree gowns are black and untrimmed. A maroon and gold tassel hangs from the mortar board worn on the head by candidates. Master's degree gowns, black and untrimmed, have pointed sleeves.

Doctoral gowns in the United States traditionally have been black with velvet front facings and crossbars on the sleeves. The Minnesota hood, which may be worn by anyone with a doctoral degree from the University of Minnesota, is black with maroon chevron on gold. Each institution has its own pattern of colors on the hood, worn around the neck and down the back of the gown. The length and shape of the hood identify the most advanced degree the wearer has earned, and the velvet edging shows the field: drab for doctor of business administration.

In recent years a number of universities have adopted gowns of distinctive school colors. A new University of Minnesota doctoral gown and matching tam made their appearance in 1988 to celebrate the centenary of the first Minnesota doctor of philosophy degree. The new Minnesota gown is maroon-trimmed with black velvet chevron and gold metallic braid. The traditional gown may still be worn.
