The motto of Oakland University, "Seguir Virtute E Canoscenzq.," which is
incorporated in its seal, has a distinguished origin, Canto XXVI, 1. 120, of
Dante's lnferno.
These are the final words of [Ilysses' great speech to his men urgmg
them to sail on and on in pwsuit of knowledge and experience of the
world-even beyond the pillars of Hercules, traditionally the frontier and
lirnit of iegitimate exploration.
This is the threeline stanza:
Considerate la aostra serneflm
Fqtti non foste a aiaer come bruti
Ma per seguir uirtute e canoscenzn
Consider uour birth
You were not made to liae like brutes
But to follow courage and knowledge

ON ACADEMIC REGALIA
An edifying note contributed by u
certain anonymous doctor of philosophy
On at least two solemn occasions during the academic
calendar-spring and fall commencement-the faculty of the
university publicly displays its
full academic regalia and participates in the liturgy of processional and recessional, that
curious coming and going that
s)..rnbolizes the ceremony of
corunencement. The purposes
of commencement are well
known, but the reasons for the
pectrliar garb of the celebrants
and their odd order of march are
often as obscure to the audience
as they ate, in fact, to the faculty
itsel-f. This note may serve to explain academic dress and the
professional pecking order it
costumes.
Contemporary academics are
descendants of clerical schoolmen in the universities of
medieval Europe. Like the clergy,
members of the bench and bat,
and other learned professions,
the medieval scholar clothed
himself in heavy robes to stay
warm in unheated stone buildings. Like all members of a
hierarchical society, the medieval
faculties rejoiced in visible insignia of rank. These outward
signs of accomplishment and
authority were tailored into the
robes. Although the need for
such voluminous garments to
keep the scholar from freezing is
long past, the use of them as
emblems of dignity remains.
You will observe that all caps
and gowns worn by our faculty
are black, rvith certain disturbing
exceptions. Black was the color
adopted by mutual agreement
among American universities at
the end of the 19th century. In
Europe each university has its
own distinctive gown, varying in
color and cut from all others. A
European academic assemblage
is a far gaudier occasion than its
counterpart in America. Recently, certain universities in this
country rashly broke the agreement and authorized robes in
their own colors: for example,
the crimson of Harvard and the
green of Dartmouth may be seen
in our ranks. This unsuitable
spontaneity has been frowned
on by sister institutions, yet the
mavericks not only persist in
their madness, but gain
adherents to their ranks with
each passing year.
There are three basic academic
degrees: the baccalaureate or
bachelols degree, the mastels
degree, and the doctorate. A
special style of robe is prescribed
for each. The bachelols gown is
sparsely cut, neat, but a bit
skimpy and unadorned, as befits
apprentices. The mastels gown
is still simple, but fulle4 sports a
sleeve of extraordinary design
impossible to describe, and has a
hood draped from the shoulders
down the back. Once used to
keep the frost from the tonsured
heads of medieval clerks, the
hood now is solely a badge of a
degree of scholarly achievement.
The mastels hood is small and
narow but displays the colors of
the institution that awarded the
degree. If you knew the colors of
American universities, you could
easily identify whence came our
masters. The doctoral robe is the
most handsome of academic raiment. Generous of cut, of fine
aristocratic stuff, it is faced with
velvet and emblazoned with
velvet chewons on the ample
sleeves. You will note that most
of the velvet facings and
chewons are black, but that
some are of other colors. According to personal taste, the doctor
may display the color of his doctoral degree on his sleeves and
facings: light blue for education,
pink for music, apricot for nursing, orange for engineering, and
many more. The royal blue of
the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
is the most commonly seen in
liberal arts institutions such as
Oakland. The docto/s hood is
the most elegant of all academic
appurtenances. I-arge and
graceful, it is lined in satin with
the colors of the university that
awarded the degree and is
bordered with the color of the
degree itself. Most academic
costumes include the square cap
called a mortarboard; the doctols tassel may be either black or
gold
- tassels of all other
degrees are black and stringy.
To instructed eyes, the order of
march in the processional and
recessional reveals the standing
of individuals in the institutions
formal hierarchy. In the processional the order of entrance into
the hall is, quite fittingly, from
most junior to most senior. The
baccalaureate candidates enter
first, followed successively by the
masters and doctoral candidates
with the whole separated from
the faculty by a decent interval.
In the faculty orde1, the instructors precede the assistant professors who in turn are followed
by the associate professors. The
august full professors bring up
the rear. A-fter a respectful
distance come the deans who in
turn are separated by a signifi-
cant space from the awful majesty of the platform party, the
president, the vice president,
and the mernbers of the board of
trustees. All remain standing until the board is seated. A-fter the
ceremony, the order of recessional is the reverse of the processional. The greatest
dignitaries stream out of the hail
first, with the artfully organized
ranks of priority wallowing in
their wake.
It is hoped that these notes
may make more intelligible the
spectacle you are witnessing today. A discerning intelligence
may detect in it many clues to an
understanding of the academic
profession as it confronts the
ambiguities of the future with
ancient wisdom and dignified
confidence,
