I know, I said that.

"... and of course the higher degrees' regalia is more elaborate still, with hoods and stoles and the doctoral robes' special sleeves and hats, and so forth."

Part of yesterday's ceremony, between the speakers and all the bachelor's candidates parading up to shake the University President's hand and not get diplomas, involved the hooding of the successful doctoral candidates. For whatever reason (maybe because there were enough of them that it would have made the main Commencement take too long), the master's candidates had their own separate hooding ceremony on Friday.
