Nordic student meeting

[1] The meetings were a part of the scandinavistic movement which sought to unify the Scandinavian countries politically and culturally.

Scandinavianism originated from the University of Copenhagen and spread to Sweden in 1839, when students from Copenhagen marched across Øresund in order to meet the students at Lund.

The first Scandinavian student meeting was held in Uppsala year 1843.

The Nordic student cap was designed for this occasion, and was adopted as common headgear by all Scandinavian students at the subsequent meeting in Lund and Copenhagen, year 1845.

However, the Uppsala students were unable to attend since the semester hadn't stopped.
