A Brief History Of Academic Dress In The Middle East And The Maghreb, Valentina S. Grub
A Brief History Of Academic Dress In The Middle East And The Maghreb, Valentina S. Grub
Transactions of the Burgon Society
There are hundreds of universities in the Middle East and the Maghreb, yet the academic dress that they wear, if any, varies widely. Colour standards for hoods are non-existent, and gown shapes vary among British, American, and European shapes, sometimes incorporating elements of each into a single gown, and elaborated with local cultural details. This article examines the current, fluid state of academic dress in the region, where it is not indigenous and is one element of the after-effects of the imposed colonial educational systems.

Reforms To Scottish Academical Dress During The 1860s, Jonathan C. Cooper
Reforms To Scottish Academical Dress During The 1860s, Jonathan C. Cooper
Transactions of the Burgon Society
Although hoods were worn in the ancient Scottish universities during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, their use went into decline thereafter. This article focusses on the re-introduction of hoods in Scotland, mostly during the 1860s. After consideration of the academical dress in use earlier during the nineteenth century, the four ancient universities are treated in the order in which they adopted comprehensive hood schemes. Primary sources, in the form of university minutes and portraits, and secondary sources, mostly in the form of contemporary accounts, are examined.
