The cap and gown and colorful hood so prominent in commencement ceremonies
resemble, to some extent, articles of dress worn by church and university dignitaries
in the Middle Ages. The cap and gown indicate that the wearer is a member of a
university or college. The hood shows the degree the wearer holds.
The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn
open or closed. The doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves and may be worn open
or closed. Down the front, the doctor’s gown has a facing of velvet and three bars
of the same material on each sleeve. The facing and bars may be either black or the
color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains. The cap is worn for all
degrees; the doctor may wear a golden tassel.
Hoods are normally black with a colorful lining rolled outward. Bachelor’s hoods are
three feet long, master’s three and one half feet, and doctor’s four feet.
For all academic purposes, including trimmings for the doctor’s gown, edging of
hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as
follows:

THE NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL
The Naval Postgraduate School opened in Annapolis in 1909 and transferred to the
Monterey Peninsula in 1952. Since its beginning, the School has conferred over 22,000
degrees. The typical student is an unrestricted line U.S. Naval Officer who has
completed an operational tour. Students are engaged in intensive studies leading to a
master’s degree in one of 46 different curricula split between 11 academic departments
and 7 academic groups.
Each curriculum is tailored to provide the academic
requirements for accredited advanced degree and meet the additional educational skill
requirements necessary for subsequent assignments. Officers are obliged to remain
in service for about four years after they complete their schooling. Students arrive every
quarter, with the heaviest influx entering in January and July. Of the approximately
1300 students now enrolled, about 70 percent are in the United States Navy and Marine
Corps, 10 percent are from other United States services, and the remaining 20 percent
are from allied countries. Many internationally recognized in their respective fields. In
order to keep abreast in their areas of expertise, faculty members conduct research
beneficial to many- governmental agencies. Over 27 million dollars of research is
conducted or administered annually at the School. Guests are invited to tour the school
grounds and to visit historic Herrmann Hall.
