To preserve their dignity and meaning it early became necessary for those universities to set rules for academic dress. American universities agreed on a definite system in 1895 and set up a suitable code of academic dress for the colleges and universities of the United States. In 1932 The American Council on Education presented a revised code which, for the most part, governs the style of academic dress today. The principal features of academic dress are three: The gown, the cap, and the hood. The Gown. The flowing gown comes from the twelfth century. It has become symbolic of the democracy of scholarship, for it completely covers any dress of rank or social standing beneath. It is black for all degrees with pointed sleeves for the Bachelor's degree; long, closed sleeves for the Master's degree, with a slit for the arm; and round, open sleeves for the Doctor's degree. The gown worn for Bachelor's or Master's degrees has no trimmings. The gown for the Doctor's degree is faced down the front with velvet and has three bars of velvet across the sleeves, in the color distinctive of the faculty or discipline to which the degree pertains. For certain institutions the official colors of the college or university may appear on the gown or its decorations. The Cap. The freed slave in Ancient Rome won the privilege of wearing a cap, and so the academic cap is a sign of the freedom of scholarship and the responsibility and dignity with which scholarship endows the wearer. Old poetry records the cap of scholarship as square to symbolize the book, although some authorities claim that the mortar board is the symbol of the masons, a privileged guild. The color of the tassel on the cap denotes the discipline, although a gold tassel may be worn with any doctor's gown. The Hood. Heraldically the hood is an inverted shield with one or more chevrons of a secondary color on the ground of the primary color of the college or university. The color of the facing of the hood denotes the discipline represented by the degree; the color of the lining of the hood designates the university or college from which the degree was granted.
