Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: This paper will consider the higher education sector then and now and will give a summary of the present situation as far as graduation celebrations are concerned. The documentary evidence for medieval academical dress in Germany will form the basis on which a logical system of gowns, hoods and hats for use at present-day German state universities will be proposed. The focus of this paper is on the first degree and only touches on the doctorate degree where necessary. [Excerpt].
