It was compulsory for students to wear a uniform from the early days of the Petit Séminaire, founded in 1668. The students were required to wear it at all times, even outside the Séminaire. The uniform was often referred to as the “chipmunk” because of its white pinstripes, reminiscent of the chipmunk’s coat. None of the students liked the uniform. It was hot in summer and cold in winter, and they were often teased about it. Locals called them the “blue sheep”.
