After 1973, two commemorative quilts, created by two of Rogers' friends and archived at the Fred Rogers Center at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, were made out of the academic hoods he received during the graduation ceremonies.<ref name="thiel">{{cite news|last=Erdley|first=Debra|date=March 23, 2018|title=Thiel College remembers Mister Rogers|work=Tribune-Review|location=Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania|url=https://archive.triblive.com/local/regional/thiel-college-remembers-mister-rogers/|access-date=September 1, 2021|archive-date=September 1, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210901025824/https://archive.triblive.com/local/regional/thiel-college-remembers-mister-rogers/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="quilt">{{cite web |title=Academic Hood Quilt |url=https://www.fredrogerscenter.org/portfolio_page/academic-hood-quilt/ |website=Fred Rogers Center |access-date=July 15, 2019 |location=Latrobe, Pennsylvania |date=2018 |archive-date=July 16, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190716223346/https://www.fredrogerscenter.org/portfolio_page/academic-hood-quilt/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
