11 Academic Costume The academic costume worn at American college exercises derives from the Middle Ages. The oldest universities of northern Europe, such as Paris and Oxford, grew out of church schools, and both faculty and students were regarded in the Middle Ages as a part of the clergy. They wore clerical habits, largely borrowed from the monastic dress of that day, not just on special occasions but as their regular attire. The head covering of the academic costume developed from the skull cap worn by the clergy in cold weather to protect the tonsured head. In the universities, the skull cap acquired a point on top, which evolved into a tassel. The bonnet with tassel is still worn by degree holders of European universities. In America, it has been replaced by the familiar mortar board, which still retains the medieval tassel. The hood (the medieval caputium) was originally a covering worn over the head in bad weather, otherwise dropped on the shoulders as the monk s cowl. At first it was worn by faculty and students alike, but in the early 16th century it was restricted to graduates, thus becoming the mark of a degree holder. Today, each college has its distinctive hood lining by which its graduates may be recognized in academic processions. Graduates from Virginia Commonwealth University may wear a hood showing a black chevron on gold background. The gown comes from the medieval robe and seems to have been borrowed from the habit of the Benedictine monks. In the Middle Ages, undergraduates, bachelors and masters could be distinguished by the simplicity or intricacy of their gowns. The doctor s gown was often furred, which survives today in the ornamentation found on the doctoral gown. Usually the gown is black, but some colleges have gowns of different colors. The wide velvet borders extending down the front of the doctoral gown, the velvet bars on the sleeves, and the borders of most hoods are colored according to the scholarly field of the wearer.

Written by Lemont Monty Kier, Ph.D., a longtime faculty member, and his son, Andy Kier, a 1990 VCU graduate, the school song honors the university s commitment to providing students with experiences that they carry with them beyond their years on campus. We Gather Here Lyrics: Monty Kier Music: Andy Kier We gather here, our voices raise, of VCU we sing our praise, the Black and Gold our colors show, diversity and value grow. We ve learned so much beyond each class, the joy of friendship will not pass. So much in life is mem ry borne, of VCU they ll not be shorn. The mem ries of a campus walk, so many friends, we stop to talk, the friendships here were made to last, they re in our minds though years have passed. The seasons pass, the years roll by, from VCU the reason s why we are enriched from values learned, they bring us joy that we have earned. Next year again we will be here to see our school and give a cheer. So VCU keep all that is great, you ve brought us joy that is our fate. So come let us sing of VCU, with ev ry verse we will renew the mem ries from our campus time, each one embedded in a rhyme. VCU Commencement
