Academic regalia are the soul of graduation ceremony.
These robes hold a special place during a very special event is a student’s
life, which is his graduation. These dresses represent that the student is
graduated and has specialization in a certain degree. However, how many of you
know that the roots of these special gowns actually belong to ancient times? Colleges
and universities adopt this kind of dress of the early monks and clergymen
because this was the time where research and many studies were established.
Before, there were no educational institution that focuses in this kind of activity
and the monks and clergymen is the one who is responsible in discovering new
things.
Bigger level of school will require a much higher
level of intellectual exertion and emotional maturity than the kindergarten
going kids. At the same time, however, it is a significant part of growing up
and becoming an independent, responsible and happy adult. Although no
kindergartener would be able to really understand all of this, the graduation
ceremony should be an opportunity for you to start introducing these concepts
to your child.
Different kinds of academic robes and graduation hoods are worn in different
types of academic rankings such as undergraduates, masters, bachelors, and
doctorates. During ancient universities, it is common for undergraduate to differ
according to on their status in the university or in the society. For noblemen
at that time, their academic robes are made up of elaborate and colorful robes
with gold lining and plain black academic robes for commoners and scholars.
Find out what accessories need to be included with the
dress. Accessories include sashes, caps and tassels. You don't want to miss out
on anything. Find out what cannot be worn by your child. His or her preschool
may specify that certain things are not to be included in the dress. Just, in
case, you'll want to know if there are any such restrictions. Think about ways
that you can use the freedoms that the guidelines allow. For example, there may
be no specific guidelines regarding whether or not to wear a sash, or to have a
tassel. Or it is possible that certain colors are specified, but how to combine
those colors is not.
There can be many ways that you can work within the
set parameters while still being creative and putting together a beautiful and
unique graduation dress for your child. You can also use shells, beads and
other little items to make the gown more attractive. After all, preschool
attire is way too casual than the Academic Regalia.
