Abstract
The Royal College of Music was established by Royal Charter in 1883, which empowered it to confer the degrees of Bachelor, Master, and Doctor in Music, with two definitive texts on academic dress refer to the attire of graduates and diplomates. Shaw’s Academical Dress of Great Britain and Ireland gives a brief history of the College and its awards, including revisions made in the year 2000. The robes associated with these awards are, however, listed in Nicholas Groves and John Kersey’s 2002 publication, Academical Dress of the Music Colleges and Societies of Musicians in the United Kingdom.
