The Academic RegaliaThe academic regalia worn on formal occasions in American colleges dates back to the Middle Ages. The oldest universities of northern Europe grew out of church schools and regarded faculty and students alike as clergy; therefore, they wore clerical garb styled from monastic dress.
Principle elements of academic dress are the gown, the cap, and the hood. The universities of Cambridge and Oxford have made academic dress a matter of university control since the fifteenth century. American universities first agreed on a uniform system of dress in 1895, with a revised code being adopted in 1932. More recently, however, some major universities, harkening back to Europe an forebears, have instituted their own distinctive academic attire.
The Gown: The flowing gown comes from the twelfth century, most likely from the habit of the Benedictine monks. It may have been worn as protection against the cold of unheated buildings. Today it has become more symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it covers any dress of rank or social standing. It is usually black or the color of the sponsoring college, with pointed sleeves for the Bachlor’s degree; long closed sleeves with a slit at the arm or wrist for the Master’s degree; and full bell double sleeves for the Doctor’s degree. The doctoral gown is also faced down the front and across the sleeves with velvet trim, either in black or the color of the wearer’s academic discipline.
The Cap: When Roman law freed the slave, he won the privilege of wearing a cap. In the universities this cap acquired a point on top which evolved into today’s tassel. The academic cap is a sign of freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. The color of the tassel denotes the scholarly discipline, although the Doctor’s tassel may be gold, regardless of discipline.
The Hood: Originally a head covering worn as protection in bad weather, and otherwise dropped to the shoulders like the monk’s cowl, the hood was worn by faculty and students alike. In the early sixteenth century, it was reserved for graduation. The size and shape of the hood indicates the degree level of the wearer. The color of the facing of the hood denotes the discipline represented by the degree, while the color combination of the lining designates the university or college from which the degree was granted. Colors associated with the disciplines represented by the OCU faculty are as follows:
Arts/Letters/Humanities White Business Brown Counseling Light Blue Education Light Blue Library Science Lemon Yellow Law Purple Music Pink Philosophy Dark Blue Psychology Gold Theology Scarlet
Blue Cord A blue cord is given to graduates who have given a monetary contribution to the Alumni Association or Alumni Legacy Scholarship.
Red, White and Blue The red, white and blue honor cord designates graduates who have served or currently serve in any branch of our United States military.
Commencement Speaker
As a servant of Jesus Christ, Richard Swiger currently lives in Medina Ohio with his wife Deborah and their three children, Benjamin, Zachary, and Joseph. Presently, he serves as the Ohio Director of Field Programmimg for Prison Fellowship. He is a graduate of Ashland University.
Richard has a powerful story of restoration, perseverance and the power of a life transformed by Jesus Christ. Richard endured a childhood marked by the violent loss of a parent, the loss of a young sister, much time in foster care and many years incarcerated in prisons throughout Ohio.
On the other side of that he has become a devoted husband and father, a champion for Biblical justice, an in-demand speaker, educator and in his favorite role, a beloved child of the Most High God. Richard’s story is a confirmation there is no life out of the reach of our God and no barrier that He cannot overcome.
Thank you to Wagner’s Flowers for donating the plants used to decorate the Maxwell Center.
