The history of academic dress reaches far back into the early days of the oldest universities. It appears that academic clothing was first introduced and worn at Cambridge and Oxford Universities in England in the 13th Century. The European custom was carried to America, but prior to 1895, the institutions in this country did not follow any particular style of costume. In that year, an academic code of dress was adopted and the standards accepted by most of the colleges and universities in the United States. Today, the black robe, hood, and cap are generally worn. Three types of gowns may be distinguished: the bachelor’s with long pointed sleeves; the master’s with long closed sleeves, square at the end and having a slit at the elbow for the forearm; the doctor’s gown, faced with velvet and having round open sleeves with three bars of velvet. The bachelor’s hood is the shortest of the three. The master’s hood is the same shape but slightly longer. The doctor’s hood is four feet long with side panels. Hoods are silk-lined with the official color or colors of the university conferring the degree. The binding is two to five inches wide, depending on the rank of degree. The colors of the velvet edging show the various fields of learning as indicated in the following list: Arts & Letters.....................................................White Architecture.......................................................Brown Business............................................................... Drab Dentistry..............................................................Lilac Economics.........................................................Copper Engineering......................................................Orange Fine Arts............................................................Brown Fisheries................................................Golden Yellow Forestry.............................................................
