Academic Regalia Origins
Caps and Tassels
The academic costume worn today originated in the universities of the Middle Ages when a warm gown and hood were useful for scholars and clerics in unheated buildings. Prior to the Civil War, students at most American universities wore caps and gowns daily.
The square cap, or mortar board, is worn by all. The tassel is worn hanging over the left front of the cap. It is customary for undergraduate degree candidates to wear the tassel over the right side of the cap and to change it to the left side after the degree has been conferred.
Gowns The style of academic gowns varies by the degree earned. Bachelors: Pointed Sleeves Masters: Long closed sleeves and faced with black velvet from hem to neck and back. Doctoral: Round bell-shaped sleeves and distinctive velvet facing around the collar and down the front. All gowns carry three velvet bands around each sleeve above the elbow.
Stole of Gratitude Every graduate has special people in their life who have provided invaluable emotional, moral or financial support. The Stole of Gratitude is a lasting and fitting way for graduates to pay special tribute to those who have shaped their lives. The new graduate presents the stole as a gesture of appreciation prior to or following the ceremony, or during other commemorative gatherings. More than one stole may be given if there are multiple people that the graduate would like to thank.
Hoods Hood length varies by degree. The lining of the hood indicates the university by its color (orange for Idaho State University) and the border of the hood indicates the academic discipline in which the degree was earned.
