:''The Burgon Society, concerned with academic dress, should not be confused with the Dean Burgon Society, concerned with the advocacy of the King James Bible. They are separate organizations.'' The Burgon Society was founded in 2000 for the study and promotion of academical dress, to preserve its history, and to advise film and television companies and interested others in its correct usage. The President of the Society is James P.S. Thomson, MS (London), DM (Lambeth), FRCS, FBS, former Master of London Charterhouse. His predecessor was the organist John Birch, MA (Sus), DMus (Lambeth), FRCM, FRCO(CHM), LRAM, FRSA, FBS, who served two terms ending in 2011. One of the Society's founding fellows, Dr Nicholas Groves, created the Groves classification system for academic dress, in which the most common shapes of British gowns, hoods and caps are coded for easy reference. He also designed the gowns of the University of Malta. His design, selected from entries submitted in an international competition, debuted in November 2011 at a degree ceremony in Valletta, Malta. The Society is named after John William Burgon (1813–1888) from whom the ''Burgon shape'' academic hood takes its name. The Burgon hood is depicted in profile in the Society's emblem, surrounded by Bishop Andrewes caps. In 2010, the Society received charity status from the Charity Commission. ==Activities== The Society publishes an annual journal of peer-reviewed research into academic dress.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Transactions of the Burgon Society )〕 It holds a spring conference each year and organises visits to robemakers, universities and other institutions, as well as a congregation, at which successful candidates are admitted to fellowship of the Society. There are also occasional garden parties usually hosted in the country somewhere. 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「Burgon Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
