Straw Boaters
The other evening whilst out on the town with Will Moller (Groton ’02, Kenyon ’06), I was pleased to learn that Groton still graduates its male student in straw boaters.
I think straw boaters are about due for a revival. And not those horrific plastic numbers that proliferate around convention and campaign time. The real deal. The trouble is the best place to start a straw boater revival is St Andrews, and we’re only all in St Andrews when straw boaters aren’t really “in season” as the sartorialists would say.

As a graduate of Kenyon (’84) and a seminar presenter at Phillips Exeter (’02) and a current PhD candidate at Durham University (England), I can only wholeheartedly support your desire to see boaters come back into academia. Enjoyed finding your blog today!
