Abstract
It has been clear for many years that a standard, clear, terminology for describing academic robes is needed. Universities and colleges use very imprecise terms, and different institutions will use the same term with different meanings. A standard terminology should enable a gown or hood to be drawn accurately from its description, exactly as an heraldic blazon enables a coat-of-arms to be drawn. [Excerpt].
Keywords: Academical dress, Origins of university costume, History of academic dress, Academic cap and gown
