Academic Hoods

Convocation is an impressive ceremony, steeped in dignity and decorum, which is conducted according to long-standing traditions. The colourful academic regalia – caps, gowns, and hoods – worn by teaching and administrative staff are a legacy from medieval universities such as Paris, Bologna, Oxford, and Cambridge. They indicate the university from which its bearer graduated and the highest degree awarded to that person. Most of the distinctive characteristics appear in the hood. Originally a practical element of dress, the hood has evolved into a separate and purely ornamental article, draped over the shoulder and down the back. The hoods worn by graduands are either bordered or lined with colours that indicate the degree to be conferred.

The Mace

The mace is a symbol of authority and guidance. It is shouldered by the macebearer/beadle/bedel who, clothed in a specially designed gown, leads the procession of graduands, faculty, members of the board of governors, special guests, the chancellor, and the president and vice-chancellor, into the auditorium to participate in the convocation ceremony. When the entire procession has entered, the mace is placed on a designated pedestal before the chancellor, at the front of the stage. It remains there until the closure of the convocation ceremony, at which time it is borne again by the cacebearer who leads the convocation procession out of the auditorium.
