Graduation cap - Mortarboard - Dr hat

Mortarboard, n.m: What's this breadboard doing on American students' heads? Called "Mortarboard" or "Oxford Cap", this symbol of academic success was originally an Italian Renaissance hat, similar to the biretta worn by clergy (hence the second part of its name; the prefix "mortar" coming from the object's similarity to the container used for mortar at the time).

Used in France before becoming an essentially Anglo-Saxon symbol, the mortarboard is an essential ingredient of "graduation ceremonies": diploma award ceremonies at Harvard, Oxford and also ... Cambridge.

But who still cares about such symbols in France? VICTORIA'S of course, since we have featured this hat above the lion that is part of our logo.
