Paper 3E

To: Senate

From: Mr. D. P. Robertson

Registrar

Subject: Regalia for

Jan. 23, 1967

lay members of Senate

It was decided some time ago that the Bqard of Governors

should be provided with a special gown for ceremorles on the campus.

All Faculty members and those staff members who hold university

degrees have gowns which are the official regalia of the University

which granted them their degrees.

Senate could now decide to provide gowns identical

to those for the Board of Governors for those lay members of

Senate who do.not have gowns from other institutions. I have dis-

cussed this matter with the Chancellor and the President and we

are agreed that to keep the gowns the same for lay members of

Senate and for the Board of Governors would have a number of ad-

vantages. Firstly, it would in a sense symbolize the close inter-

action between the Senate and the Board, and secondly, it would

provide fewer complications whén lay Members of Senate are elected

to the Board of Governors.

• Recommendation: That Senate adopt the gown specified

for the Board of Governors as the official gown for laymembers

of Senate who do not have gowns from other institutions.

D. P. Robertson

Registrar.
