Excerpt from The McMaster University Monthly, Vol. 26: October, 1916, to May, 1917 Reference has already been made to the use of colour to symbolize the faculty, and this becomes of greater interest when we study the meaning of university hoods, for in them an attempt is made to attach a significance to colour combinations which will be intelligible to the enlightened few. If the list of colours used were sufficiently short, this would no doubt be most successful, for even in our materialistic age, color still maintains its sym bolic concept. If anyone is inclined to doubt this, let him picture to himself the sensation that would result in a staid Presbyterian kirk, if the minister, some fine Sabbath morning, were to borrow the vestments of his Anglican neighbor, and appear in the pulpit clad in white instead of black. In fact there have been times in the Church of England in which the wearing of the white surplice was looked upon as savouring of high churchism. This is what Hood refers to when he says.
