Graduation Regalia
Graduation regalia include graduation caps and gowns, stoles and hoods. These regalia are worn at graduation ceremonies. In America, graduation regalia were introduced in the 12th and 13th centuries when scholars were required ordinarily to wear clerical dress. The Europeans who founded America brought along their graduation customs which included those of academic regalia. Though European institutions have diversified regalia, American institutions follow a code that was established in 1895 and further improved by the Intercollegiate Commission in 1932. The costume code was further reviewed in 1959 by the American Council on Education. This was to bring about some uniformity in graduation regalia worn by different institutions.
