ACADEMIC DRESS
Academic Dress evolved from caps and gowns worn in the medieval universities. The academic gown is the basic garment of attire, and by tradition, it is black for all degrees and ranks. The square cap or mortarboards are a prescribed part of academic dress and are all distinctive. Accompanying the gowns are hoods, which are lined with silk in the official colors or color of the institution conferring the degree and which are bordered in the color representing the discipline of learning. The disciplines and respective colors are:
