Historical English Academic Robes: A Basis For A ‘National’ System, Nicholas Groves
Transactions of the Burgon Society
From time to time, various writers on the subject, Franklyn included, put out a call for a ‘national’ set of robes, which could be worn by any British graduate, whatever their degree and institution, as an alternative to the robes of their alma mater. Leaving aside any benefits it might have (one can see the attraction of it for graduates of the University of East Anglia and Kent …), the great problem would be: who would design it, and who would approve it?

French University Dress: Regulations And Custom, Bruno Neveu
Transactions of the Burgon Society
When the Imperial University, created by the law of 10 May 1806, was organised by the decree of 17 March 1808, the body of teachers in the five faculties: Catholic & Protestant Theology, Law, Medicine, Science, Arts - numbered only about 200 in the whole of the French empire.This number only increased very slowly during the C19 and it is only from 1880 that Higher Education became an important Public Service, with the faculties being grouped, under the terms of the law of 10 July 1896, into universities under the control of each académie (education authority).

Academical Dress In New Zealand, Noel Cox
Academical Dress In New Zealand, Noel Cox
Transactions of the Burgon Society
Academical dress in New Zealand generally follows the traditional Cambridge pattern. Apart from the advent of the scarf or stole, and the encouragement given to Maori graduands to wear a korowai or feather cloak, tertiary institutions have not been inclined to radical sartorial innovation. Largely as a result of the infrequency of use of academic dress, its design has fallen largely into the hands of the robemakers. With the advent of new institutions, and a growing number of qualifications, it is to be regretted that attempts have not been made to maintain the uniformity which formerly reigned. [Excerpt].

The Origins And Development Of Academical Dress At The Victoria University Of Manchester, Philip Lowe
Transactions of the Burgon Society
If one now looks back at the regulations as proposed, the evidence clearly points towards the intention being for a system less complicated, and more restrained than Oxbridge and Durham, adopting a logical pattern of Faculty silks (as used at London & Glasgow) and making one item ‘do’ in the place of several e.g. the Doctoral hood and gowns. Clearly, Manchester’s was a “no-frills” system of academic dress, and certainly the associations with dress at London & Cambridge were quite marked. [Excerpt].
