It is becoming common practice for undergraduate attire to include a small hood to reflect the discipline studied and school colors. Master's robes are significantly different in that their hoods are longer than undergraduates, and the robe itself has long, distinct cuffs. Not all caps are called mortar boards - typically reserved for undergrads and masters - other cultures and various institutions have adopted the tudor bonnets and tams for doctoral degrees.

The mortar board hat. is from Free Masonry. The the stoneworkers put the mortar on a board, and used a trowel to appy to the stone.

The Masons again in their own publications will tell you there's a Masonic push to have universal education, the same education worldwide, to standardize a bunch of schmucks who never question reality. Who accept reality as it's presented to them from birth-and that's what good management means. The schmucks don't know they're schmucks. When you see the people coming out of colleges and universities, they wear the cloak - the cloak used to be always black for Saturn. Now they use red ones. I've noticed they're very popular. I saw a pinkish-red actually, which is even more telling for both sexes. If you're an architect or an engineer, you understand technical drawings. You see things in a way differently from other people, because most people see the solid front of an object. They don't see the different aspects You look from the top view on these little square heads, and people with the gowns on and dresses, and you'll see that. You'll see the square. If you were to see the head and then you think you see square and the circle within the middle of the squaring of the circle. You see that's what it means: The squaring of the circle; The squaring of your brain; A brick in the wall. It really means that you've got a quality approval stamp on you by those who run the system, that they've dumbed you down and you're now stupid enough to work in their system and fork over 40 to 50% of your our earnings to them. In the old days they needed slave drivers. Slave drivers take away from your profit; and who watches the slave drivers? We are self-maintained slaves through money that we think is natural like gravity, simply because it exists in our time when we live; and that's how easy it is to control us. WE ARE SELF-MAINTAINED SLAVES. WE'RE TRAINED FOR ONE THING AND THAT'S WORK IN A SYSTEM TO PRODUCE AND CONSUME. Whether you're producing or consuming, with all the sales taxes, you're still paying lots of tax money. That goes back to the elite, of course, who use the money for big projects, which we all supposedly call public projects, big huge projects like building railroads across continents and gas works in Britain and water works and roadways. Then when they have it all working and all the problems ironed out, they sell it to each other for peanuts, you see. That's called progress; and all these schmucks keep doing it. People watch this down through the centuries in Europe as these huge projects were built up by the taxpayer. We're all working for the common good, the common good and then, gee whiz, one day they tell you we can't go on like this you know. It's too expensive. We need to have more professional people with a motive, a profit motive to take care of us. An incentive to make things work, so they could pick it up for a raffle; and of course, one of the handful of the elite Masonic buddies gets to win it for peanuts. It's a beautiful world, this road to progress, this destiny of progress. It's never been defined to the public exactly where you're going; and that's not by chance. Although, it is told you legally through movies and novels and even songs. That's called "predictive programming", because legally they must tell you what they're doing, and they do all the time in the movies and novels and music.

UCLA ROCKS!

A majority of universities use a hood for undergraduate. Some Community colleges either use a shield or a hood similar to an undergraduate minus the velvet trim for the discipline.

Is the cap traced back to the fez? (It was present in Greece, who copied it from Egypt supposedly.)

thanks a lot! ;)

I had a hood in undergrad too but it's not normal

Anyone who wants to improve on their knowledge (and indeed correct a few misconceptions espoused even by academics wearing their caps and gowns) should visit newprairiepress.org/burgonsociety/all_issues.html, where they have numerous back-issues of the Transactions of the Burgon Society, the British society for academic dress.

Bachelor's degree regalia in Australia have hoods.

There ARE Bachelor's hoods. Bachelor's hoods are 3 feet, Master's 3 and 1/2, Doctorate 4. There are also shields for all degrees, even associate's (2 year degree).

The flat hat represents the Quran. Which was done in the 9th century in Spain by Muslims. Quran was the top of the knowledge therefore students tied it to the top of their heads at a graduation ceremonies.

The Masters hood also shows the institution and degree and that terrible old snob with the superior attitude for being left handed should not have been in this video. The tassel going to the left has nothing to do with "having 'left" college. The tradition started because moving the tassel is much easier than hundreds of people putting on their hoods at the same time. Moving the tassel is a simple way to represent the degree actually having been conferred. The Masters hood is shorter than the doctoral hood but it is not tiny, as the video implies. Bachelors hoods are becoming more common and there is nothing wrong with that. Bachelors hoods are commonplace in Europe and some were made of rabbit's fur at one time.

Incredible. Everything stated in this video is wrong. The graduation attire is designed from freemasonry. The cap is flat at the bottom to indicate the lowest level of the pyramid of power. Being on the lowest level of the pyramid indicates you are at the bottom of societies power structure and are essentially a slave. The thing that goes around your neck is meant to symbolize the stranglehold society places on you. The three types of robes (bachelor, master, phd) resemble the three degrees of masonry (initiate, fellow, master mason), although there are actually many more than 3 degrees of masonry, but those are just the ones they want you to know about

This is really sick 😭. This is exactly why I feel disconnected from society and school. Like what are we truly working towards & for????????? Education system is a joke.

Beyond the inaccuracies in the clip, some of the responses are pathetically ignorant. 1) Academical dress, including the mortarboard, predates Freemasonry by several centuries. 2) The bachelor's hood is not a new element, but in recent years some American universities have introduced them into their commencement programs. 3) Moving the tassel from right to left during commencement exercises is a ridiculous modern practice best left at high school graduation ceremonies. 4) While in the United States the Intercollegiate Code for Academic Dress established black robes for all degrees beginning in the 1890s, but from the beginning some universities had robes peculiar to their institutions. That said, the number of distinctive gowns--most often in school colors-- dramatically increased in the last half of the 20th century. 5) Those criticizing the left-handed professor need to lighten up--he clearly was being facetious. 6) The narrator's descriptors are just wrong. Hoods don't have "patches" of color; they have velvet trim along the outside edge in varying width indicative of the degree and in the ICC color indicating subject of the degree, except for PhDs which are trimmed in dark blue (aka philosophy blue) for the degree itself, rather than the subject. (E.g., my hood trim is dark blue for the PhD, rather than white for the Humanities that include History, my subject field). The inner lining of the hood is traditionally silk, and in the U.S. indicates the college or university that granted the degree. 7) Personal opinion: I abhor colored cap tassels--usually matching the velvet trim of the hood. Tassels should be black, except for the metallic gold tassels for terminal doctoral degrees. Finally, thank you for your patience. I'll surrender the soap box and find a corner.

@@sissyrayself7508 my comment regarding freemasonry was in response to other comments in the string. My remarks were in no particular order; had I ordered them, the bit on freemasonry (not mentioned in the original clip) would have been lower in the list. The important thing here is the the guy from UCLA, billed as an expert on academical dress, demonstrated much ignorance on the subject.

I knew it was mockery. Thanks for all the money and loans you will never pay off. Here put on this funny hat and parade across the stage now showing everyone how "smart" you are.

This is a very poor job of explaining the history of academic robes!
