Abstract
In the degrees awarded and in the ceremonial surrounding their conferral, including dress, all four of Australia’s earliest universities followed the models of the universities at ‘home’ in Britain. This article deals with doctorates of two types: what we now call the ‘higher’ doctorates, and the more recent Doctor of Philosophy. Professional doctorates and honorary degrees are noted only tangentially and essentially follow the same principles, though some institutions differentiate these categories as well.
Keywords: Australia, doctoral dress, phd dress
