ACADEMIC HERALDRY
he caps, gowns, and hoods worn at college and university functions date back to
the Middle Ages. Monks and students of those days wore them to keep warm in
the damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning. The gowns for the
bachelor’s degree, earned after undergraduate study, have long, pointed sleeves and are
designed to be worn closed.
The holder of the master’s degree wears a gown with an oblong sleeve open at the
wrist. The sleeve base hangs down, and the rear part of its oblong shape is worn square
cut. The gown may be worn open or closed. An alternate and older master’s gown is
also permissible. The gown is always worn open, has a long sleeve, which is square and
closed at the end and has a slit near the forearm.
Gowns for the doctoral degree may also be worn open or closed, but they carry broad
velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the full, round, open sleeves. ‘The
velvet trimming may be either in black or the color distinctive to the field of learning
to which the degree pertains.
Academic gowns for each level are black, although a few institutions permit doctoral
recipients to wear gowns of the characteristic institutional color.
Academic protocol allows trustees, presidents, and marshals of higher education insti-
tutions to wear gowns which are especially designed and colored. The president of the
University at Albany wears a black and royal purple gown bearing four horizontal royal
purple and gold bars on the sleeves. The marshals’ gowns at UAlbany are gold and blue.
Caps may be of serge, broadcloth, or, for the doctoral outfit only, of velvet. The tassel
is black or the color appropriate to subject, except the doctoral cap may have a tassel of
gold or bullion.
It is the hood that gives color and real meaning to the academic costume. The bache-
lor’s hood is sometimes worn upon completion of the course, even though the degree
has not yet actually been conferred. A black shell of varying size for the three degrees,
and of material to match the gowns, is lined with silk in the colors of the institution
conferring the degree. UAlbany’s institutional colors are royal purple and gold.
The hoods of the master’s degree recipients are a black shell made of material to match
the gown and use the institutional colors. The doctoral hood, which uses the same
institutional colors, is larger and of a different style, having a flat panel at the back.
The hood is bordered with velvet of the proper width to indicate the degree and of the
color signifying the field of learning to which the degree pertains.
peceusch dombeNceMENT
If more than one degree is held, the gown and hood of the highest degree are worn.
Holders of several doctoral degrees may make a choice of hood for any particular occa-
sion. The colors indicative of the various fields of learning are as follows:
Arts, Letters, Humanities: white
Accountancy, Business, Commerce: dusk
Economics: copper
Education: powder blue
Fine Arts: brown
Journalism: c777son
Library Science: /e70n yellow
Music: pink
Philosophy: voyal blue
Public Administration, including Foreign Service: tea/ blue
Science: golden yellow
Social Science and Social Work: citron
Graduating students at UAlbany wear tassels of the color representing their field of
study. Honors graduates of the baccalaureate program also wear honor medallions.
Candidates for degrees are listed as of November 10, 2002. No changes in status
could be made after this date. Honors for December degree candidates were
computed using the cumulative grade point average as of November 5, 2002, and
a projection that the student will have earned 56 or more credits at UAlbany, of
which a minimum of 40 credits are A-E graded. Official honor status will be
recalculated when fall 2002 grades are recorded and will appear on the diploma.
** Summa Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative grade-point average of 3.75 or above
** Magna Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50-3.74
* Cum Laude: signifies a cumulative grade-point average of 3.25-3.49

ALMA MATER
College of the Empire State,
Mother of an army great,
Thou the molder of our fate,
Thee we sing today.
Thine the hand we clasp so strong,
Holding tho’ the years be long,
Thou the burden of our song,
Thee we sing today.
Wisdom’s duty heeds thy call,
Ever in Minerva’s thrall,
Pass the torch from one to all,
Guide each destiny.
’Neath the Purple and the Gold,
Let thy history unfold,
Sons and daughters, young and old,
Hail to Albany.
