> Ordre des Palmes Académiques
> From Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org]
>
> The Ordre des Palmes Académiques (Order of Academic Palms) is an
> Order of Chivalry of France to academics and educators. The order
> was originally created by Napoleon to honour eminent members of the
> University of Paris. It was re-established on 4 October 1955 by
> President René Coty and is one of the world's oldest civil awards.
>
> Originally, the palmes académiques were only given to teachers or
> professors. In 1866, the scope of the award was widened to include
> major contributions to French national education made by anyone
> including foreigners. It was also made available to French nationals
> outside of France who had made major contributions to the expansion
> of French culture in the rest of the world.
>
> The Ordre des Palmes académiques has three grades:
> Commandeur (commander) — medallion worn on necklet
> Officier (officer) — medallion worn on ribbon with rosette on left breast
> Chevalier (knight) — medallion worn on ribbon on left breast
>
> Decisions on nomination and promotion are made by the Minister of
> Education. For those not connected to state-sponsored public
> education or the Ministry of National Education, these decisions are
> made on January 1. For all others, they are made on July 14, which
> is Bastille Day.
