WIDENER UNIVERSITY HISTORY

Founded in 1821 as a preparatory school for boys in Wilmington, Delaware, the institution moved to Pennsylvania in 1862, and was granted collegiate powers and privileges. Known from 1892 to 1972 as Pennsylvania Military College, the name Widener College was adopted and the Corps of Cadets disbanded in 1972. Graduate programs were introduced in 1967 and the Delaware Law School was acquired in 1975. In recognition of its comprehensive offerings, Widener College became Widener University in 1979. In 1989, Commonwealth Law School opened in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Widener has grown into an esteemed university that connects curricula to social issues through civic engagement. It comprises seven schools and colleges that offer liberal arts and sciences, professional and preprofessional curricula leading to associate's, baccalaureate, master's, and doctorate degrees. The university's campuses in Chester and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, serve more than 5,000 students.

ACADEMIC DRESS

The history of academic dress begins in the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the Portuguese University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as “academic.” European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress.

In the United States, the practice of wearing academic apparel dates back to colonial times, but there was no uniform standard of approved attire until 1895 when a commission of leading American educators devised a code of academic dress. Although modified in 1932 by the American Council on Education, this code continues to govern the style of academic dress today.

GOWNS The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist, with the sleeve base hanging down in the traditional manner. The rear part of the sleeve’s oblong shape is square cut, and the front part has an arc cut away. It may be worn open or closed. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped sleeves and may be worn open or closed. Bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no sleeve trimmings. The doctor’s may be faced on the front with black or colored velvet and with three bars of the same across the sleeves. If color is used, it is the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains, and it matches the edging or binding of the hood. The colors associated with the different disciplines include the following:

HOODS Hoods are worn by those receiving graduate degrees. The colors used in the satin linings are drawn, customarily, from the official colors of the granting institution. Widener University’s colors are blue and gold. The trimming on the hood varies in color and usually indicates the field of study.

Arts, Letters, and Humanities—White Commerce, Accountancy, & Business—Drab Brown Economics—Copper Education—Light Blue Engineering—Orange Fine Arts—Brown Journalism—Crimson Law—Purple Library Science—Lemon Medicine—Green

Music—Pink Nursing—Apricot Philosophy & Psychology—Dark Blue Physical Education—Sage Green Physical Therapy—Teal Public Administration—Peacock Blue Public Health—Salmon Pink Science—Golden Yellow Social Work—Citron Theology & Hospitality Management—Scarlet

CAPS Tams are generally worn as part of the academic costume. The long tassel fastened to the middle point of the cap’s top is black or a color appropriate to the subject, except that the doctor’s cap may have its tassel of gold threads. It is customary for degree candidates to wear the tassels on the right front side before degrees are conferred and to shift them to the left when the degrees are awarded.

CORDS, MEDALLIONS, AND STOLES

Widener University has a chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, the national honor society of universities. Founded in 1897, the society recognizes and encourages superior scholarship in all academic disciplines. Those members of Phi Kappa Phi graduating today wear a gold cord to signify their scholastic ranking in the upper 10 percent of the class. Additional cords presented are:

Academic Honors—Blue & Gold Twist

Appellate Advocacy Honor Society—Green Pro Bono—Red Student Ambassadors—Orange

Student Organizations—Silver Trial Advocacy Honor Society—Brown Military Veterans—Red, White, & Blue Widener Commonwealth Law Review—White

THE MACE A ceremonial staff, the mace, is carried by the Grand Marshal to open and close academic convocations.
