The only academic I saw with an octagonal hat (in olive velvet) as part of her regalia gradated from a university in Poland--I want to say Warsaw University, but her page on my college website does not mention the institute where she earned her PhD. It's been 25 years since I took a class from her, so I do not remember clearly. Ann in CT

Is that (the Oxford Don hat) the octagon-shaped tudor-flat-cap kinda hat? I so want one of those. My morter-board cap is just way too big on my little pin-head!
