Label TextThis University of Western Ontario beanie is a reproduction of a freshman cap. Donated by Elizabeth Spicer, caps like this were given to all those who attended the university’s 100th birthday party in 1978. In the university’s earlier years, freshmen wore such caps to make them stand out. More senior students could then call on them to perform various favours, such as carrying textbooks or giving up their bus seats.
