On the minus, the range of things one could wear under it would be considerably more limited (and, as Charlotte Anne points out, a lot of us, male and female, are probably Contingent Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161652083031423415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-58077922464094468052014-11-01T14:04:37.613-04:002014-11-01T14:04:37.613-04:00Had I received such an email at my institution, I ...Had I received such an email at my institution, I would inform the sender to quickly issue a retraction to the effect of "sorry, my email account was hacked and IT is looking into the incident."

(I think one department had red for their Ph. D.s.) The hood was the colour corresponding to one's discipline.<br /><br />However, the gown changed the higher one's degree was.
