The True Origins of the Mortar board

The Mortar board, which I now hold in my hand and which we cannot wear until we graduate, sym bolises the Qur'an; which graduates in the Muslim world used to tie to their heads in their graduation ceremonies. Similarly, whenever we are in Sub-fusc we are to carry the Mortar Board just as students in the Islamic tradition used to carry their Qur'an's with them; the right to put it on one's head coming only after the end of one's study when they are worthy of such an act. Aminul Islam
