IT is an Oxford tradition for students to pin a carnation to our sub fusc (academic gown) when sitting for examinations.
The colour of the carnation represents how far along our exams were, white for the first day, pink carnations for papers in between, and a red carnation indicates that it was our last paper for that particular examination.
