History of the Cap and Gown Worn by Academic Students

The Axiomatical History of the Cap and Gown:

Ever wondered why you wear a seemingly medieval robe and a square hat to graduation?

Academic regalia traces its’ roots back to the 12th and 14th centuries in Europe. Back then, universities were closely tied to the church, and scholars wore long gowns and hoods to stay warm in unheated stone buildings.

The iconic square cap—known as a “mortarboard”—earns its’ name because it closely resembles the flat board used by bricklayers to hold mortar. Wearing these garments instantly connects you to centuries of academic tradition and marks a massive transition in your life.
