Abstract
At the foundation of the Academy (University) in 1669, every person who achieved an academic degree earned the right to wear academic dress and other insignia. However, the Jesuit professors preferred to wear the garments of their order. Academic dress was not developed afterwards because the Empress Maria Theresia did not approve of it. At a later date the deans wore a gold chain with a pendant medal. There was a tradition in which a beadle carried the university mace on ceremonial occasions. There were official students' garments at the university from 1895 to 1942. New ceremonial academic robes were designed in 1998 based on historical research.
