The Academical Dress Of The Ionian Academy, 1824–1864, Jonathan C. Cooper
The Academical Dress Of The Ionian Academy, 1824–1864, Jonathan C. Cooper
Transactions of the Burgon Society
The Ionian Academy was founded in 1824 at Corfu, then part of a protectorate of the British Empire. However, its academical dress bore little resemblance to that of British universities but, rather, was based upon the costume of Classical Greece, largely due to the influence of the first Chancellor, a notable philhellene. Context will be given through a brief consideration of the Protectorate and of the organizational structure of the University; an account of the first Chancellor will follow. We shall examine the classically inspired dress of students, graduates and university officers worn at the institution during its early years. …

The Development Of Academic Dress In China, Charles Ko Ka Shing
Transactions of the Burgon Society
This article includes a series of pieces on the themes of Chinese academic dress and on the topics of design, history and practice. It covers the motives leading to the development of academic regalia of modern Chinese tertiary institutions, the history and development of academic regalia in China, and how and why the design of academic regalia has changed from ancient China to today. China is a valuable research target as it has had periods of economic reform, a change of its political attitudes, and the establishment of Westernized and modernized degree system.

The Introduction And Contemporary Practice Of Academical Dress In Japan, Jason T. Testar
The Introduction And Contemporary Practice Of Academical Dress In Japan, Jason T. Testar
Transactions of the Burgon Society
The history of the introduction, evolution and contemporary—albeit limited—practice of academical dress in Japan is a story that parallels the revolutionary changes which swept across the once feudal nation as it emerged into the twentieth century. In the clash of East and West that characterized the rise of modern Japan, the parallel story of academic dress is one which debunks the model notion that conventions of Westernization and the process of modernization are inextricably linked. Set apart from the conventions of popular fashion, academic dress in the West represents the highest scholastic achievement. However, prior to Western contact, the wearing …
Glasgow Gown With Three Bands On Each Sleeve, Neil K. Dickson
Glasgow Gown With Three Bands On Each Sleeve, Neil K. Dickson
Transactions of the Burgon Society
In my history of the academic dress of the University of Glasgow I recorded that major changes to gowns and hoods took place in 1893. When the proposals for the various degrees were under consideration by a committee, the University Court instructed the committee to design a gown for its members. However no design appeared. In 1901 a new committee was appointed with the result that in 1902 the following design was approved: ‘a black doctor’s gown with collar and yoke and faced all with MA silk and with three bands of MA silk on each sleeve’.

The Present And Future Of Academical Dress In Spain: Catalogue Of Guidelines On The Use Of Academical Dress And Its Colours In Spanish Universities, María Teresa Galino Mateos, Jerónimo Hernández De Castro, Francisca De Paula Saravia González, Jonathan C. Cooper
Transactions of the Burgon Society
The Association for the Study of University Protocol, founded in 1997, brings together professionals in Spanish universities who are responsible for the organization of academic ceremonies, university traditions, as well as the new activities derived from those traditions which maintain the university in its place. In the course of the activities of the Association it soon became apparent that it was necessary to understand with the greatest possible degree of accuracy ways in which academical dress was used and that it was important to establish a catalogue of suggestions on its use and of the current use of colours. The …
