You have been through so much to reach today’s milestone,
juggling your studies with the historic challenges of a global

your dreams. You have also helped make our universities among
the safest in our nation—a model for our peers—and I am deeply
grateful for your understanding, your cooperation, and your
sacrifice.
Although it has been a few years since I was in the seat you are
in today, I still remember the mix of excitement and anxiety I felt,
not knowing exactly what the future might hold. That feeling is
Donald J. Edwards understandable. But rest assured that the world-class education
Chairman of the Board
you received here, in and out of the classroom, has given you the
of Trustees
foundation to succeed and flourish.

our flag with pride. Your successes will carry us forward, adding

all of us you have left behind will be working for you, ensuring
that the value and prestige of the degree you worked so hard to
earn continues to grow.

we are celebrating your resilience and success. This important
day in your lives rises above the conditions that have challenged

your perseverance.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO | 2022 COMMENCEMENTACADEMIC DRESS Academic dress, consisting of cap, gown, and hood, originated about the twelfth century and was worn primarily for warmth. Subsequently, material of the gown and the lining and the shape of the hood represented the economic and social as well as the academic status of the wearer. In the United States, the great majority of the academic costumes now worn are in accordance with the general provisions of the Intercollegiate Code of 1895, which was revised in 1932 and again in 1960. Under this code the bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves, the master’s gown has oblong sleeves with an arc at the bottom, and the doctor’s gown has bell-shaped sleeves. All gowns were originally black, although the adoption of colored gowns by individual institutions in the United States is becoming more prevalent. The bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. The doctor’s gown is faced down the front with velvet and has three bars of velvet across the sleeves. The facing and bars may be black or may be the color of the subject to which the degree pertains. Material of the gown and hood for the bachelor’s and master’s degree is usually of cotton poplin, and for the doctor’s degree, of rayon or silk ribbed material. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed; the master’s and doctor’s gowns may be worn open or closed. Women may wear white collars with the bachelor’s gown when no hood is worn. The hoods, which differ in length for the three degrees, are lined with the official colors of the university or college conferring the degree, usually with one color forming a chevron pattern over the other. The bachelor’s hood is three feet in length; the master’s hood is three and a half feet, and the doctor’s hood is four feet long. At the University of Illinois at Chicago the lining of the hoods is flame and indigo. For PhD students, the trim of the hood is indigo. For other doctoral students and for master’s students, the velvet trim at the edge of the hood denotes the field of study. UIC graduating seniors do not wear hoods. The mortarboard cap is standard in the United States. Usually all tassels are black, but where the graduating seniors do not wear a hood, as at the University of Illinois, the color of the cap tassel indicates the type of degree earned. Students receiving a bachelor of arts degree wear white tassels; those receiving a bachelor of science degree wear gold. Doctor’s caps may have tassels of gold thread. At the University of Illinois, candidates for degrees wear tassels on the right front quadrant of their caps before degrees are conferred and change them to the left front quadrant after degrees are conferred by the president. Caps are considered a part of the costume. Gold, silver, and bronze cords worn by some graduating seniors signify the three levels of University Honors. Gold cords signify summa cum laude, silver cords signify magna cum laude, and bronze cords signify cum laude. Gold stoles identify graduates who are members of the Honors College. Red cords distinguish students who have been recognized for service and/ or leadership. Some students also wear cords or stoles signifying their membership in campus organizations or activities. The Jewel of Office and gold collar, which is worn by the president, was presented to the university by the University of Illinois Alumni Association. It is emblematic of the Office of the President and is worn at all formal academic ceremonies. On the collar are engraved the names of the presidents of the university and their years of service. Trustees of the university are identified by their blue gowns with blue velvet panels outlined in orange cord. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO | 2022 COMMENCEMENT 15
