The Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) must have assigned a hood lining to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in the late 1940s or 1950s, but by this point the Bureau was getting rather careless in its lining assignments. A list compiled by Kevin Sheard in Academic Heraldry in America (1962) described the seminary’s hood lining as royal blue with a white chevron, a 1969 IBAC list said that the lining was blue (not royal blue) with a white chevron, and a 1972 IBAC list described the lining as royal blue with a white chevron. Unfortunately, this hood design duplicated the hood lining the Intercollegiate Bureau had assigned to Duke University (royal blue with a white chevron) in the early 1900s. To avoid this problem, the chevron in the royal blue hood lining of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has been inverted.
