Heritage High School Faculty

Academic dress and graduation date back to the 12th century at the formation of early Universities in Europe. The role of these early Universities was to authenticate degrees. Universities documented which scholars had enrolled, or matriculated, for study under licensed masters and established standards to mark the various levels of a student’s progress (graduation) toward the next degree.

Universities lacked buildings of their own when they were first established and thus studies were conducted at nearby churches. Historians believe that academic dress originated when scholars, who were largely clerics or aspiring clerics in the church themselves, wore long robes and hoods to keep warm in these unheated buildings. The practice of wearing gowns became more widespread when gowns were established as the official dress of academics in 1321.

The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves, the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve (the rear portion being squre cut), open at the wrist, like the others. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped sleeves. It is so designed and supplied with fasteners that it may be worn open or closed.

Gowns for the bachelor’s or master’s degrees are untrimmed. For the doctoral degree, the gown is faced down the front with black velvet; three bars of velvet are used across the sleeves. These facings and crossbars may be of velvet of the color distinctive of the disciplines to which the degree pertains, thus agreeing in color with the binding or edging of the hood appropriate to the particular doctoral degree in every instance.

Hoods worn for warmth were later used by Universities to differentiate and recognize the various disciplines of scholars.
