Here’s a quick primer for decoding all of the academic regalia you’ll see today.

T H E C A P · Doctoral candidates wear velvet tams while bachelor’s and master’s candidates

wear black mortar boards. All wear a single tassel.

T H E G O W N · Bachelor’s candidates wear a traditional black

gown with long, pointed sleeves. Master’s candidates wear a long

black gown with oblong sleeves that are arched at the wrist and

square cut at the bottom. Doctoral candidates wear a long, velvet-

trimmed gown in black or another color with bell-

shaped sleeves that have three velvet panels or

chevrons on each arm.

U C B E R K E L E Y C O L O R S · UC Berkeley regalia is designed in the

official University of California colors established by students in 1873.

Berkeley Blue symbolizes the ocean and local wildflowers. It is based

on Yale Blue, since Yale University graduates were among the university’s

founders and early leaders. California Gold was selected to represent the

mining heritage of the “Golden State” of California and our state flower, the

golden poppy.

T H E M A C E · The executive vice chancellor and provost leads the

faculty procession and carries the ceremonial Berkeley mace, a tall staff

that symbolizes UC Berkeley’s authority to confer degrees. It is topped

by a bear’s head carved out of wood salvaged during a renovation of

South Hall, the oldest building on Berkeley’s campus, built in 1873. The

provost also places the mace on the podium during the ceremony.

T H E H O O D · Master’s and doctoral

candidates wear velvet-lined hoods hanging

from the back. The color of the hood’s lining

represents the institution that conferred the

degree, while the velvet trim represents the

field of study.

C H A N C E L L O R ’ S M E D A L ·

Chancellor Carol T. Christ

wears the Chancellor’s Medal,

which is imprinted with the

university seal.

Hail to California,

Alma Mater dear;

Sing the joyful chorus,

Sound it far and near.

Rallying round her banner,

We will never fail;

California, Alma Mater,

Hail! Hail! Hail!

Hail to California,

Queen in whom we’re blest;

Spreading light and goodness

Over all the West.

Fighting ’neath her standard,

We shall sure prevail;

California, Alma Mater,

Hail! Hail! Hail!

The Cal alma mater was written by Clinton R . “Brick” Morse, Class of 1896.
