To paraphrase Andrew North in this volume: with a custom as old as academic dress, many onlookers assume that because they know the traditions of cap and gown, they do not need to consult historians. Yet when we consider how long people have been wearing academic dress and how briefly we have been studying it, we are unsurprised when one of our colleagues uncovers an old record about a cap or a hood that had been forgotten for centuries. Little surpris-es, tucked away in library folders, await discovery by the scholar’s eye. Researchers never know if a trip to the archives will yield anything of note, but when they find one of the many links still missing in the story of collegiate costume the chain that connects past and present is made stronger.In these pages you will share in the discovery of academic dress facts old and new. Kenyatta University is young by most standards, which gives us the enviable benefit of a first-hand account of the meetings that led to its adoption of robes for graduates and offi-cers. Rarely do we get to hear the reasons behind the choices from someone who was party to the deliberations.We also learn more about traditions in Sweden, an English sumptuary law, Scottish ministers’ dress, and twentieth-century changes to dress at Oxford and Cambridge.In some of these articles careful readers will notice a change in our citation style. To make the submission process a little easier for those who work in the social sciences, the editorial board has decided to allow a second style in our footnotes. Authors may now choose to use the social science practice in addition to the humanities style we have fa-voured. Finally, in a sign of the Society’s growing activities, our annual list of conferences and university visits for the first time spills over more than one page. I hope you will be able to join us at one of the Society’s events in the months ahead.—Stephen Wolgast7Published by New Prairie Press, 2014
