===Universities=== As part of [[academic dress]], the [[University of Cambridge]] uses a cope known as a {{lang|la|cappa clausa}}, made of scarlet superfine cloth with the cowl lined and the cape opening edged with white fur. This was once the [[Congregation (university)|congregation]] robe of a [[Doctor of Divinity]], but has now come to be the [[List of vice-chancellors of the University of Cambridge|Vice-Chancellor]]'s official congregation dress when conferring degrees. Professors, chairs of degree boards, and their deputies also wear a cope presenting candidates for higher doctoral degrees. The only other place that uses a cope is the [[University of the South]] (United States), where the cape hem is edged in fur.
