FUN FACT
Picture this — back in the 14th century, when knights and castles were all the rage, clever scholars and wise clergy in the UK had a brilliant idea to stay toasty warm during their chilly lectures. They donned these stylish robes and caps that we now associate with graduation ceremonies. Yep, those academic gowns started out as the medieval version of a cozy blanket fort!
Fast forward to today, and these flashy robes have become a symbol of academic achievement worldwide. So, the next time you see someone strutting their stuff in a cap and gown, just remember they’re continuing a tradition that began with some cold students who knew how to stay fashionably warm!
