French Professor Fred Toner has been honored with the prestigious award of: “Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques”. Chapeau to Fred. Hats off!!
The honor, Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques (literally, Knight in the Order of Academic Palms), was created by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808 to recognize outstanding achievement at the university level. Recipients, originally called “officers of the Academy,” were given the privilege of wearing double palm branches embroidered on their academic robes. In 1850 Napoleon III transformed the award into a medal consisting of palm and olive branches intertwined to shape an oblong crown hanging from a violet ribbon, the form it still has today. For a non-French citizen, the nomination has to be approved first by a committee at the French Embassy in Washington. The selection is then sent to the Foreign Ministry in Paris, which reviews the candidate’s qualifications and forwards the recommendation to the Ministry of Education for the final decision.
Recipients and dates: Lois Vines, 1993; Fred Toner, 2012.
