Ch 31: Just Subfusc It!
An oxford tradition. An now that Cambridge and dropped the policy- the only place that does it the old old way is Oxford. What am I talking about? The traditional garb of the Oxbridge academic- the Subfusc! And the tradition? Why wearing it of course during exams.
During exam times (this week) we are required by policy to dress accordingly, in full suit, black shoes, white bow tie, and our gowns AKA subfuscs. It felt a bit funny at first to sit in an exam hall with 200 of my closet MBA mates dressed up for a fancy party. But after you do it once you get used to it. Then you stop thinking "man this is strange", and you start thinking "man, this is strange AND something special". When else in my life will I do this again? To share in this experience with 200 others.
"man, this is pretty cool".
