A Little Bit of History…

Cap & Gown The traditional graduation gown dates back to the 12th century when the first European universities were founded by clergy who wore the robes and hoods both to stay warm in the unheated buildings and to differentiate themselves from the townspeople. The hoods weree eventually replaced with skulll caps. The modern-day cap is called a mortarboard due to its resemblance to bl the tool used by masons to hold mortar.
