"Voted, That it is recommended, that the Freshmen, who shall be admitted into the University the present year, before the end of the Summer Vacation, be provided with coats of blue grey, being a mixture of deep blue and white wool, as nearly as may be, $ \frac{7}{8} $ of the blue, and $ \frac{1}{4} $ of the white, or if that cannot conveniently be obtained, of a dark blue colour, with waistcoats & breeches of the same colour, or of a straw colour. That, when they shall procure clothes, afterwards, and while undergraduates, their coats shall be of the colour first mentioned, & their waistcoats & breeches of the same colour, or of a straw colour. "Whereas, the enjoining of an uniform colour, in the clothing of the Undergraduates, and prohibiting certain species of materials, in their apparel, will have a great tendency to lower the expense of dress, while, at the same time, the appearance will be more academical: The Harvard corporation in 1786 prescribed the following rules for the wearing apparel of the students: "That the Seniors and Juniors wear their black gowns on all public occasions, & whenever they shall publicly proclaim in the Chapel. That no Undergraduate, to whom these injunctions may extend, be permitted to appear within the limits of the College, or town of Cambridge, in any other dress than is before described, unless he has on a night gown, or an outside garment be necessary over his coat. That no part of the dress of the Undergraduates be made of silk:- and that it be recommended to them, to clothe themselves in home manufacture, as far as may be."
