Ursuline College
Ohio
1871
Students at Ursuline College adopted royal blue and gold as their school colors in 1922. In the 1920s “royal blue” was a purplish shade of dark blue.
Academic hood lists published by the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) in 1927, 1948, and 1972 described Ursuline College in Ohio as having a hood lined “azure blue” with a “gold orange” chevron. Here the college’s hood lining colors have been corrected to Ursuline’s traditional royal blue and gold.
