THE ACADEMIC COSTUME The wearing of academic dress dates back to the early days of the oldest universities in the world. In the American Council on Education’s book entitled American Universities and Colleges, it is suggested that “Gowns may have been counted necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings frequented by medieval scholars. Hoods seem to have served to cover the tonsured head…” American universities established a code of regulations which today is followed by almost all American institutions. The establishment of this code has made it possible to distinguish the bachelors, masters and doctors, and at the same time, to recognize the university awarding the degree. The colors of the lining of the hoods for the nine original colonial colleges are: scarlet, Rutgers; crimson, Harvard; green-gold-silver, William and Mary; blue, Yale; red and blue, Pennsylvania; orange and black, Princeton; light blue and white, Columbia; brown, Brown; and green and white, Dartmouth. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves and is worn closed. The master’s gown has oblong sleeves, open at the wrist. The rear part of its oblong shape is square-cut, and the front part has an arc cut away. It is worn open or closed. The hoods vary in size: 48 inches for the doctor’s degree, 42 inches for the master’s, and 36 inches for the bachelor’s. All hoods are lined in the academic color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. If the institution has more than one color, the colors are shown in divisions using chevrons. The binding or edge of the hood is usually made of velvet in the color designating the subject in which the degree was granted. Black mortarboards are worn for all degrees. Some of the colors in the bindings of the hoods are: white, Arts and Letters; drab, Business Administration; violet, Criminal Justice; light blue, Education; purple, Law; apricot, Nursing; peacock blue, Public Administration; blue, Philosophy; gold, Science; and citron, Social Work. RUTGERS SCHOOL OF LAW Rutgers School of Law is located on the Newark campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The campus is situated in the heart of Newark's cultural center, close to the Newark Public Library, the Newark Museum, and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The social, cultural, professional, and educational opportunities of the Newark/New York City area combine to provide a fitting location for the study of law. Qualities that typify the Rutgers School of Law include its outstanding legal education, nationally recognized faculty, very diverse student body, commitment to public service, and affordable tuition. Of approximately 800 students in both day and evening programs, more than 45 percent are women and 38 percent are members of minority groups. The majority of students are New Jersey residents, but students hail from all parts of the country and from many countries around the world. They have earned degrees from more than 120 different colleges and universities in the U.S. and many schools abroad. The excellence and the diversity of the School of Law-Newark students are reflected in their varied professional interests, goals, and outlooks, making classroom discussion and other law school interactions dynamic and educationally stimulating. The faculty is as diverse as the student body and brings to the students and the classroom their experiences as nationally recognized experts in a multitude of legal areas ranging from corporate law to public interest law. Faculty scholarship and extracurricular service are well-known and respected in the legal community, as well as in the academic legal community. As a result, the Rutgers School of Law was awarded the first New Jersey chapter of the Order of the Coif, the national honor society for law students. The oldest law school in the state, the Rutgers School of Law has had many ancestors and locales. It began in 1908 in an imposing Victorian town house as a proprietary institution, the New Jersey Law School. Its business-oriented curriculum quickly attracted many students, and by the 1920s it had become the nation's second largest law school. In 1927, it moved to a former brewery at 40 Rector Street. The school joined in 1936 with another private institution, the Mercer Beasley Law School, to become the University of Newark Law School. In 1946, the entire University of Newark was absorbed by Rutgers University, and the School of Law was officially born. Over the next several decades, the school became an institution of national stature. Its library expanded to become the most comprehensive collection in New Jersey, and its faculty tripled in size. In the 1960s, the law school pioneered in developing clinical education and in providing the opportunity to study law to women and minority groups. In 1967, the school of law in Camden, which had been administered by the dean of the law school in Newark, was created as a separate unit of the university, and the university's original law school became the Rutgers School of Law. After outgrowing several buildings in downtown Newark, it moved in 1978 to the skyscraper that became the S.I. Newhouse Center for Law and Justice. In January 2000, the Rutgers School of Law moved to the new 225,000-square-foot Center for Law and Justice, located at the corner of Washington and New streets. The New Jersey Law School was registered with the Board of Regents of New York on March 2, 1922. In 1941, the University of Newark Law School became a member of the Association of American Law Schools. This membership was transferred to the Rutgers School of Law in December 1946. Also in 1941, the University of Newark Law School was placed on the approved list of schools of the American Bar Association and registered by the Board of Regents of New York. This accreditation and registration continued after the incorporation of the school into the university. Situated on 38 acres in downtown Newark, New Jersey's largest city, Rutgers University-Newark serves 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The campus is home to the College of Arts and Sciences, University College, the Graduate School, Rutgers Business School, the School of Law, the School of Criminal Justice, the School of Public Affairs and Administration and a number of research and outreach centers. Since 1997, Rutgers University-Newark has been ranked the nation's most diverse national university by U.S. News & World Report.
