I think it’s because when else do we get a chance to run around in Potterish robes? If we were all Oxfordians it would be run-of-the-mill, but alas, we are not all Oxfordians, more’s the pity.

What is it about grad gowns that says 'You are now an adult with a degree! Please flip up your hood and become a fictional soul-sucker immediately.' It's like it can't be helped. raych’s latest blog post:Geek Love - Katherine Dunn

It means that I have a bachelor’s degree in “Arts, Letters, or Humanities” — that’s why the trim is white. Different colours signify different areas for taking degrees; the commerce students who graduated with us, for example, had hoods trimmed with a sort of peach colour.

Here is a basic guide to academic regalia.

Congrats! Is there some special significance to the fur-lined hood? That's the first time I've ever seen that. Fyrefly’s latest blog post:Mark Pallen – The Rough Guide to Evolution
