5A Brief History of Academic Dress
Academic dress evolved over many years from the robes worn by medieval
students, usually clerics in the cathedral schools and monasteries established by
the Catholic Church. In 1321, the University of Coimbra began requiring its faculty
to wear gowns (most likely for warmth in the unheated medieval buildings). Later the
various colleges of the University of Cambridge adopted specific styles and color
combinations for its faculties. On May 26, 1895, institutional representatives met at
Columbia University to establish a uniform code for U.S. academic attire.
The hood bears the colorful standard of academic symbolism, revealing the level of
the degree, the academic field of learning in which the degree was earned, and the
institution that conferred the degree.
Made of the same material as the gown, the hood varies in length from 3 feet for the
bachelor’s degree, to 3.5 feet for the master’s and 4 feet for the doctoral degrees.
The color or colors of the lining of the hood indicate the institution that conferred the
degree. The hood is trimmed or edged in a border either two, three, or five inches
wide for the respective degrees. The border color represents the faculty or field of
study in which the degree was awarded.
Approved cap of the academic costume is the mortarboard, a stiff 9-inch square on a
soft cap made of the same cotton poplin or spun rayon as the gown. Velvet material
is reserved for the Doctor’s degree. A silk cord with tassel is attached to the button in
the center of the board. The length of the cord and tassel may vary with the degree
of the wearer. The tassel and cord may be black for any degree, but only the Doctor
may wear a gold metallic cord and tassel. The tassel may reflect the color of the field
in which the degree was earned, and a few institutions use tassel colors to indicate
academic honors.
These colors represent the various fields of learning:
Arts, Letters, Humanities............... White Music............................................... Pink
Business, Commerce..................... Olive Nursing........................................ Apricot
Education................................ Light Blue Oratory, Speech.....................Silver Gray
Economics...................................Copper Philosophy...............................Dark Blue
Engineering................................ Orange Physical Education.............. Sage Green
Fine Art......................................... Brown Public Administration........ Peacock Blue
Forestry....................................... Russet Public Health...................... Salmon Pink
Journalism................................. Crimson Science......................................... Yellow
Law............................................... Purple Social Work...................................Citron
Library Science............................ Lemon
62017–2018 Graduates
(HH) = Highest Honors: Students who have maintained a grade point average of
3.8 to 4.0 are awarded their degrees with the highest honors. Both Honors and High
Honors graduates wear a gold cord.
(H) = Honors: Students who have maintained a grade point average of 3.5 to 3.79
are awarded their degrees with honors.
(PTK) = Phi Theta Kappa: LCC students with a grade point average of 3.5 or better
are invited to join Phi Theta Kappa and remain members in good standing. Phi Theta
Kappa members wear a gold stole.
(RS) = Running Start: These students are graduating from both LCC and their
high school because they took LCC classes while still in high school. Running Start
students wear a white cord.
Red, white and blue cords honor graduates who are veterans. We are grateful for
their service.
A red/black cord indicates a TRIO Student Support Services graduate. Many are the
first in their family to graduate from college.
A purple/gold cord indicates the graduate is a member of Phi Rho Pi, the National
Forensics Honor Society for two-year colleges.
A navy blue cord indicates the graduate is a member of student government (ASLCC).
A gold medallion indicates a member of the All-Washington Academic Team.
