Academic Regalia
Academic regalia generally consist of cap, gown, and hood worn on formal occasions at institu-
tions of higher learning. It originated in the medieval period when the vast majority of scholars
were of the clergy. The gown evolved from what most likely was the clergy’s robe. The gown was
originally black, but color was introduced as institutions left ecclesiastical control. The bachelor’s
gown is worn closed and is distinguished by its pointed sleeves. A master’s gown is designed to
be worn closed with long, crescent-shaped sleeves. The doctor’s garb may be worn open or closed
with velvet panels down the front and three bars on the round, bell-shaped sleeves.
The most distinguishing feature of the academic attire is the hood. The hood originated as the
skull cap worn by the clergy to protect their heads from the elements. The hood served a three-fold
purpose: head covering, shoulder cap, and bag for alms. The size and shape of the hood designates
not only the college degree of the wearer but also the university he or she attended. The master’s
hood is three and one-half feet in length, while the doctor’s hood is rounded and measures four
feet in length. Hoods are lined with the ocial colors of the institution conferring the degree. The
ocial colors of George Fox University are old gold and navy blue. The binding around the hood is
velvet with the color indicative of the major eld of study.
The list of graduate names was provided to the printer several days prior to commencement to allow production
of this program. The status of some candidates may have changed since that time. Some candidates will not have
completed all requirements for their degrees; others not listed will have completed requirements. The listing of a name
in this program does not obligate George Fox University to award a degree. For ocial purposes, a nal corrected list
of graduates will be retained by the Oce of the Registrar.
