In the late 19th and early 20th centuries many international colleges and universities did not use academic costume. So as a courtesy for graduates who were teaching in the United States, between 1895 and 1927 the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume authorized the following hood lining patterns to be used with American academic costume to indicate degrees from these foreign schools. Most of these designs incorporated national colors or symbols that were being used at that time.

Border changes after the two World Wars moved some of these universities into new countries; here the original 1895-1927 national affiliations have been cited as they were in Intercollegiate Bureau lists.

Today all of these institutions have adopted indigenous academic costume, so these hood lining patterns have fallen into disuse. Here these beautiful designs have been listed as a historical curiosity.

A c.1895-1918 Doctor of Philosophy cap, gown, and hood for the University of Gottingen tailored according to standards adopted at an 1895 conference at the University of Chicago of professors who had received degrees at German universities. The ensemble was created by Cox Sons & Vining of New York and exhibits the long and slender sleeve bars typical of early doctoral gowns.
