Hooders Graduation is a cultural tradition considered to be a rite of passage from one platform in a student’s life to another. Today's graduation ceremony is a manifestation of an ancient rite of passage in the modem context. An important part of the graduation ceremony is the giving of the hoods. The origin of the hood lies with the Celts and the Druids (Celtic priests). Among the Celts, only the Druids wore mantles, which had hoods attached to them as a mark of their rank in society. In the schools of the Middle Ages, the hoods were worn as a covering to resist the frigid temperatures. Gradually, it was integrated into the academic system with much symbolic significance. Now, the wearing of the hoods symbolizes a kind of authority, a high standing, or a new graduate's institution and degree. A hood is always black in color, but the edges and lining have individual significance. The hood is lined in silk with the official colors of the institution conferring the degree. The edging of the hood is velvet, with a particular color representative of a field of study. The official colors of Temple University are cherry and white. The dark green signifies the field of medicine. One of the great continuing traditions is the presence of hooders - individuals who symbolically bestow the medical degree upon each graduate. The medical school has chosen six individuals to assist with the placement of these hoods. These distinguished members of the faculty were selected not only for their superior quality of teaching, but also for their passion, hard work, and dedication. The hooders have committed themselves to challenging the minds of medical students and encouraging us as future doctors to maintain the integrity of the profession. It was from these mentors that we were able to become true physicians.
