The University of Oxford has a long tradition of academic dress, which continues to the present day. == When academic dress is worn == Academic dress is still worn very often in Oxford, and every undergraduate and graduate must obtain a gown, cap, and white bow tie or black tie or black ribbon for the purpose of the University matriculation ceremony, where students formally become members of the University. Regulations regarding gowns differ from college to college, but gowns are commonly worn to: * Formal Hall (formal dinner, which occurs as frequently as every night in some colleges and as rarely as once a term in others, or not at all) * Major public lectures * Chapel * College collections (tests that take place at the start of term) * Head of house's collections (end of term academic progress reports) * College matriculation Gowns and caps are worn to disciplinary hearings in the Proctors' Court. In addition, gowns are worn with cap, hood (for graduates), and ''subfusc'' to: * University examinations * University matriculation * Graduation ceremonies * The annual Encaenia (Commemoration) ceremony. On certain occasions, e.g. the Encaenia garden party, by tradition, graduates wear gown and hood without subfusc. The wearing of subfusc remains a popular tradition. In May 2015 students voted overwhelmingly in favour of compulsory academic dress in examinations, with 75.8% supporting subfusc and 78% supporting gowns, in a referendum with an unusually high 40.6% turnout. A previous referendum in 2006 showed 81% support for subfusc. 〔Patrick Foster, ( 21st-century students vote to keep Oxford tradition ), ''The Times'', March 4, 2006.〕 Both referenda were widely interpreted by students as not so much being a vote on making subfusc voluntary, but rather a vote on whether or not to effectively abolish it by default, as it was assumed that if a minority of people came to exams without subfusc, the rest would soon follow.〔See, for instance, (this article in the student press ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Academic dress of the University of Oxford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
