Degrees

[SCOT GILES]

I'm pretty sure law is blue (royal blue after kingly lawmakers). The
lining color of my doctoral hood is lime green--the registered academic
color of my theological school. However, this applies only to that bit
of satin that flips over in the back. The color of the lower part of
the lining of the hood--which on the whole you can't see--is supposed
to show the level of honors the wearer holds the degree with.
  Complex isn't it? Somebody somewhere must keep track of these
things.
  So you are plotting an academic career huh?
