Academic Regalia
Academic costumes derive from two garments, a type of robe and a hood or head covering worn in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Since the clergy composed the majority of the educated class, academic dress is an adaptation of the cope or mantle which was worn for warmth in unheated buildings and in religious processions.
