Saint John Fisher College
New York
1948
Information about the history of the cardinal and gold school colors of St. John Fisher College is not available at this time.
The Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) must have assigned St. John Fisher College a hood lining not long after it was founded in 1948. A list compiled by Kevin Sheard in Academic Heraldry in America (1962) described the college’s hood lining as gold above cardinal red, divided per bar. However, an IBAC list from 1972 described the hood lining as cardinal with a gold bar. Here the Intercollegiate Bureau assignment has been retained.
