I'm back, and enjoying the combination of coffee and Internet.

This article on Academical Dress in New Zealand has an extensive and detailed discussion of medieval academic dress, but alas, no pictures. A fifteenth-century English Master of Arts' costume might consist of cassock, robe, tabard, hood, and knitted cap. Plain purple tabards actually sound like a good Bunstable project (especially since we're lacking in undergraduates). Does anyone have fifteenth-century images of tabards?

The Instituto de Matematicas office in Morelia had elaborate Christmas decorations (still, in the middle of January), including a Christmas tree, a creche with mossy background & attendant sheep, and several large stuffed toy snowmen with long arms and legs. Somehow it's easier for me to understand the creche in a state university than the lanky pseudo-secular snowmen in a place where it never snows.
