Adding Color to Your Graduation Events

Graduation is an exciting time to celebrate accomplishment. Whether it is a sweet kindergarten event, a middle or high school graduation, or the completion of college, university or trade school, a colorful party and graduation gifts are usually part of the package.

The graduation tradition stretches back to the eleventh century and the medieval universities of Bologna, Italy and Paris, France. Apprentices who had successfully completed their course of study under recognized master tradesmen were officially recognized and given their own teaching status. By the 1300s, caps and gowns were included. The cap may have been an imitation of the hood attached to the capes worn by highly respected Druid priests. Soon the specific color of the cap or scarf and gown was used to identify the particular institution and the accompanying tassel signaled the specific academic achievement. The first baccalaureate service was conducted at Oxford University in England in 1432.

Until the 1950s, the traditional graduation cap and gown outfit in the United States was a somber and serious gray in color. However, after WW II, high schools began matching formal graduation apparel to their individual school colors. While the tradition varies from country to country, American colleges and universities have attached specific colors to recognized degrees and accomplishments. For example, white designates the liberal arts; purple signals law; green is for medicine; daffodil yellow represents the arts and the humanities; and dark blue is associated with philosophy and all doctorates.
