BODENDean of Rockefeller Memorial ChapelTHE RECESSIONALToccata from Symphony No.5 Charles-Marie Widor(The Congregation remains standing through the Aim'! Mater, the Benediction, and the Recessional)ACADEMIC DRESSThe robes worn by participants in academic ceremonies originated when European uni­versities were being Jormed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Since many oj theinstructors came Jrom religious orders and taught in unheated and draJty buildings,they adapted their religious robes Jor use as the university attire.The long robe with an attached cape or hood became the standard and variation inthe costume indicated the rank oj the person wearing it. They were worn every day andserved to distinguish scholars and their students Jrom other citizens. The apparel wornby university Jaculty that is seen in old engravings is remarkably similar to that whichis worn today. The gown is a symbol oj the democracy oj scholarship since it covers anyclothing indicating other rank or status. While everyday Jashions have changed, uni­versities retained the earlier style Jor Jormal attire to be worn by students, graduates,Jaculty and university officials on ceremonial occasions.European universities each developed their own styles and colors oj academic dress,and some oj the differences seen in the academic procession today illustrate that variety.In the United States, however, an intercollegiate congress in 1895 agreed on a singlestandard Jor academic dress in this country that has been adopted by most Americancolleges and universities. Individuals with bachelor's degrees wear a black gown, whichhas long pointed sleeves. The gown oj master's degree holders is also black, with sleevesthat are squared at the end. Doctor's gowns are Juller with velvet Jacings down the frontand three bars on the generous bell-shaped sleeves. While the usual color is black, with­in the past half century some American universities have adopted gowns oj a colorappropriate Jor each school; at the University oj Chicago our doctoral gown is maroon.The cape oj the earliest academic costumes has become a hood, worn, by individu­als with doctoral degrees, over the shoulders and hanging behind. The lining oj the hoodis Jolded out and its colors indicate the school Jrom which the wearer obtained his or herdegree. The velvet border designates the degree area oj study (white Jor arts, yellow Jorscience, blue Jor philosophy, green Jor medicine, purple Jor law, and red Jor divinity).University oj Chicago honorary degree recipients receive a hood with a white Jacing(Doctor oj Humane Letters), purple (Doctor oj Laws) or yellow (Doctor oj Science).The cap has its own traditions. The first right oj a Jreed Roman slave was the priv­ilege oj wearing a cap, so the academic cap is the sign oj the Jreedom oj scholarship.Although the flat square cap or mortarboard is most usual, Chicago's doctoral cap is anoctagonal tam oj velvet.THE MARSHAL AND THE STUDENT MARSHALSThe office oj Marshal oj the University was established in 1895 to assist with the con­duct oj official ceremonies. Until 1903 the Marshal was an undergraduate upperclass­man, assisted by other undergraduate upperclassmen and by members oj the Jaculty.Since 1903 the Marshal has been a member oj the Jaculty, assisted by other membersoj the Jaculty and by undergraduate upperclassmen.The Marshal, Vice-Marshal, and Assistant Marshals oj the University oj Chicagowear maroon doctor's robes with alternating black velvet and gold metallic bars on thesleeves. Prior to receiving their bachelor's degrees, Student Marshals wear maroonbachelor's robes with maroon mortarboards. AJter receiving their degrees, they wearblack mortarboards.Student Marshals are appointed by the President oj the University in recognitionoj their excellent scholarship and leadership. Appointment as a Student Marshal is thehighest honor conJerred by the University upon undergraduate students.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MOTET CHOIRJAMES KALLEMBA H, Director of Choral ActivitiesMILLAR BRASS ENSEMBLEMA IT LEE, DirectorTHOMAS WEISFLOG, Rockefeller Chapel OrgaIListJAMES FACKENTHAL, CarillonneurVICE-MARSHALDAVID LARUE CRABBMARSHALLORNA PUTTKAMMER STRAUSROBERT L.
