The Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) assigned a hood for Rush Medical College in 1896, as an editorial in volume 23 (number 4) of The Tuftonian (January 1897) states that the Code “is now recognized and in use by Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania, University of the City of New York, Lafayette, Catholic University of America, University of Chicago, Williams, Dartmouth, Union, Bellevue Medical, Jefferson Medical, Rush Medical, and in part by Harvard.” No IBAC description of Rush’s hood exists until a 1927 list, where it was stated to have a maroon lining with an orange chevron — a description that was unchanged thereafter.
