The Norwegian student cap (Studenterlue or Duskelue), is mostly made of black velvet with the old Apollo symbol on the forehead (the symbol of the old University of Oslo). The tassel is made from silk. Norwegian students got their caps on graduation, after throwing away the red russelue, made after a similar principle. After 1968, the use of this cap has been less and less frequent, but may be seen on Norwegian Constitution Day, mostly worn by old academics.
This cap came into use after 1850
The Norwegian student cap has traditionally been a black cap with a tassel hanging in a long string Lua has short stiff screen and folded flat and round attached to a head ring, that is shaped like a variation of the widespread the cap from 1800 - century. The front is a red-white-blue rosette with a Minerva head. Student cap be solely borne by the student passed the exam, graduated from high school, graduation from the old school and student enrollment at a university. Cap was originally conceived as part of a student uniform. Hans H. Holm A / S Karl Johans gate 23 had a patent on student hat. The student cap is no longer in production.
The russ are easily recognizable in April and May, when the russeknuter season is under way. They wear baggy trousers with big pockets, and a hat or cap with a long string at the end. Russ have worn hats like this since at least 1905. Accounts from that year record this unusual headgear being sported by students in Oslo.
Russelue or russ caps are issued to each russ in the same hue as their overalls, and each group will have a list of activities that students can do to earn russeknuter, or knots in the tassel of their cap. Each item earns them a reward of a charm to hang on their hat. Students commonly have to do something silly, audacious or gross, such as eating something messy with no hands, streaking, doing funny things on public transportation or playing drinking games.
