本笃学院的传统

薄片

这一传统始于1928年10月. All new students receive their beanie at the “Beanie Banquet” and they wear it until the Opening Convocation. Students must caw like a raven if they are caught not wearing it. The tradition has become a way for new students to recognize each other and to know for certain when they are no longer “new” — when the beanie comes off.
