The gowns, caps, and hoods worn at university functions date back to the early days of the oldest universities in the Middle Ages. Monks and students wore them to keep warm in the damp and drafty 12th century halls of learning. This traditional academic dress had been gradually revised to the modern form that you see today.
All gowns have a semi-stiff yoke, long pleated front, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed, reaches about 8 to 10 inches from the floor and has long sleeves from which the arms extend at the wrist. The master’s gown may be worn open or closed and has long, pointed sleeves closed at the end, the forearm coming through a slit near the elbow, with the flowing sleeve extending down the thigh. The doctor’s gown may also be worn either open or closed but is distinguished by broad velvet panels down the front and by three velvet bars on the full bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning.
The black cap with maroon and gold tassel is worn by the holders of bachelor’s and master’s degrees; the black velvet tam with gold tassel is worn by holders of doctoral degrees.
The hood (not usually worn by the holders of the bachelor’s degree) is a black shell, silk-lined in the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The colors of Texas State University-San Marcos are shown by a maroon lining crossed with a gold chevron. The velvet border of the hood is the color signifying the field of learning in which the degree was earned and not in the department in which the major was completed. Thus, a degree conferred as master of education with a major in physical education requires the light blue of education rather than the sage of physical education. Similarly, the “doctor of philosophy” degree requires the royal of philosophy, not the color of the department in which the major of study was completed.
Colors signifying various fields of study that you may see today include:

The use of a mace during university graduation ceremonies combines symbolic communication with the principle of vested authority at the most traditional and sacred of academic celebrations. The Texas State University mace is made of bronze and walnut and displays the university seal in maroon and gold relief. Beneath the seal is a metal base inscribed with the words AUCTORITAS, GRAVITAS, HUMANITAS, and VERITAS. These words come down to us from antiquity and represent our shared academic values:
Auctoritas: The sense of one’s standing gained through experience, industriousness, and service to others.
Gravitas: A sense of dignity, seriousness, and duty.
Humanitas: An appreciation for refinement, civilization, and learning.
Veritas: Truthfulness.
The mace adds meaning and dignity to the commencement ritual. It reminds both participants and spectators that education is one of the most cherished attributes of a free and democratic society.
