Every time I walk at commencement I see full-professor PhDs who have no idea how to wear their hoods. As a professional costumer, my strong urge is to go around fixing their costumes, but since I don't know most of them, I restrain myself! ------------------------
That's probably because very few people know, and when you get set up for graduation, no one tells you any of this stuff. I wish I had known some of this stuff when I got my Master's degree. All they tell you is to go to the bookstore and pick up a robe. Then, you might find (as I did) that the example robes hanging out to try on are mis-labeled and the packaged robe you bought doesn't fit! No one mentioned anything about hoods or other items for master's degrees and I don't recall anyone wearing any from any dept. or college within the university.
