The tradition of the academic costume apparently began during the twelfth
or thirteenth century in the early European universities. Since the clergy
comprised the majority of the educated class, academic dress is an adaptation
of the cope or mantle, which was usually silk or wool, and worn by church
dignitaries in religious processions.
Through the years, great diversity developed in color and in style of cap,
gown and hood. In 1896, the colleges and universities in the United States
adopted a uniform code governing academic dress.
The oxford cap, usually referred to as a mortar board, has a long tassel
that is fastened by a button on the top. The color of the tassel on the cap
indicates the field of study.
