Academic Regailia Question

[O'Neille]

I believe they are called Oxford caps and (although I don't know if this next part is true or not) they are worn by Doctors of Divinity.

Oxford caps are also known as mortar boards, square or trenchers. While the cap worn at Oxford is a Tudor bonnet, I believe. I've got a picture of President Truman wearing one in my collection.

Tudor bonnets are known as round caps.

Doctoral variants are the four, six or eight cornered soft tam.

I've seen the divinity variants also. I seem to remember something about Bisbops and Cardinals wearing three and four cornered variants with sewn in piping. I may be wrong but it was in my brain and jumped out on the page.

I found this informative link. http://www.academicapparel.com/caps/...blishment.html So I'll refrain from anymore hijacks. Sorry.
