Commencement Customs and Costumes The colorful ceremonies of commencement derive from practices originating in the Middle Ages. When European universities were taking form in the 12th and 13th centuries, the scholars were usually clerics as well, and consequently, they adopted costumes similar to those of their monastic orders. Cold halls and drafty buildings made caps and floor-length capes with attached hoods a necessity for warmth. Probably because of the costumes’ religious heritage, they remained drab until the universities gradually began to pass to public and private control, whereupon some aspects of the costume took on brighter hues. However, old prints and engravings reveal strong similarities between the regalia worn in early universities and the academic costumes worn today. Originally round, the shape of the cap is now the more familiar mortarboard square -- a shape which, according to ballad folklore, resembles a scholar’s book. The black cap and tassel are worn by holders of all three degrees; however, the doctor’s cap may be of velvet and the tassel of gold. The gown has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship for it covers any dress which might indicate rank or social status. The master’s gown may be worn open or closed and has long pointed sleeves. The Ph.D. gown is distinguished by broad velvet bars on the full bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning. The hood (usually not worn by holders of the bachelor’s degree) is a black shell, silk lined in the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The master’s hood is shorter than the doctoral hood. The velvet border of the hood is the color signifying the field of learning in which the degree was earned and not the department in which the major study was done. Thus, a degree conferred as doctor of philosophy requires the dark blue of philosophy, not the color of the department from which the major study was done. Colors signifying various fields of learning are as follows: Library Science............................Lemon Medicine.......................................Green Music...............................................Pink Oratory (Speech)...................Silver Gray Philosophy..............................Dark Blue Physical Education...............Sage Green Public Administration.......Peacock Blue Science............................Golden Yellow Social Science..............................Citron Theology......................................Scarlet

Agriculture....................................Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities.............White Commerce, Business..................... Drab Economics..................................Copper Education...............................Light Blue Engineering............................... Orange Fine Arts......................................Brown Forestry.........................................Russet Journalism................................Crimson Law..............................................Purple

High school graduates typically choose a gown, cap and tassel of their school colors, while college graduation gowns are black. The universities represented by colors lining the hoods worn by our faculty are too numerous to be listed here; however, please feel free to ask individual faculty members which institutions their colors represent. 38

Thank You More than half of the RHS faculty, as well as teachers and administrators from our feeder schools, volunteered to help make our Commencement a success. These dedicated professionals are represented by the group seated immediately in front of the stage and others who work behind the scenes. Thank you for attending the Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2015
