The Academic Regalia
In the universities of medieval Europe, the gown, cap, and hood signified the privileges and
responsibilities of the scholar. The teaching guild was the guild of the master of arts. The bachelor was the
apprentice of the master.
In American colleges and universities, the gown has become a symbol of the democracy of
scholarship as it covers dress indicating rank or social standing. Associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree
gowns have no trimming. The doctor’s degree gown is faced with velvet and has velvet bars on the sleeves
in colors to show the faculty or discipline to which the degree pertains.
The cap derives from Roman times when freed slaves had the privilege of wearing a cap and thus
symbolizes freedom of scholarship. Academic caps feature a tassel indicating the wearer’s discipline.
The hood is the forerunner to the present cap. The colors of the hood denote the discipline represented
by the degree, and the college or university from which the degree was granted.
The Ceremonial Mace
The New River Community College mace was created in 2000 by Ted Alberts who is retired from
the NRCC faculty. It was developed both in recognition of the start of the new century and in honor of the
initiation of the presidency of Jack Lewis.
The mace is a traditional symbol of authority. New River Community College’s mace includes, as a
part of its design, symbols for the five political subdivisions which make up the college’s service area.
Because the list of names must be furnished to the printer in final form ten days prior to graduation, it is possible that one or more of the candidates listed may have been unable to complete all requirements for a certificate, diploma or degree. Inability to remove a name before printing the program does not commit the college to grant a certificate, diploma or degree to a person listed. Similarly, receipt of a Summer 2013 degree, diploma or certificate listed in the program is contingent upon completion of the necessary requirements.
