The device includes a board coupled to a skull cap. The board has a perimeter edge. A line has a first end coupled to the board and a second end coupled to a tassel such that the line extends over the perimeter edge of the board. A slot extends into the perimeter edge of the board. The line is positionable in the slot wherein the slot inhibits sliding of the line along the perimeter edge of the board. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A tassel securing graduation cap device comprising: a skull cap; a board coupled to said skull cap, said board having a perimeter edge; a tassel; a line having a first end coupled to said board and a second end coupled to said tassel such that said line extends over said perimeter edge of said board; and a slot, said slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board, said line being positionable in said slot wherein said slot inhibits sliding of said line along said perimeter edge of said board. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising said slot having a first section extending inwardly from said perimeter edge of said board, said first section forming an acute angle with said perimeter edge of said board. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The device of claim 2, further comprising said slot having a second section extending into said board from a distal end of said first section relative to said perimeter edge of said board. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, further comprising each of said first section and said second section of said slot being straight. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising said board being square wherein said perimeter edge of said board defines a front point, a rear point, and a pair of lateral points. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The device of claim 5, further comprising said slot extending into said perimeter edge along a side of said perimeter edge between said front point and one of said lateral points. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising said slot having a first section extending inwardly from said perimeter edge of said board, said first section forming an acute angle with said perimeter edge of said board, said slot having a second section extending into said board from a distal end of said first section relative to said perimeter edge of said board, and said first section of said slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board such that said first section extends towards said one of said lateral points and away from said front point. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising: said slot being a first slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board; and a second slot, said second slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board between said front point and a second one of said lateral points. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The device of claim 8, further comprising said second slot being structured such that first slot and said second slot are symmetrical about a line extending through said front point and said rear point. ### Claim 10 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, further comprising: said slot being a first slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board; and a second slot, said second slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board between said front point and a second one of said lateral points. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, further comprising said second slot being structured such that first slot and said second slot are symmetrical about a line extending through said front point and said rear point. ### Claim 12 (depends on 4) The device of claim 4, further comprising: said slot being a first slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board; and a second slot, said second slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board between said front point and a second one of said lateral points. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The device of claim 12, further comprising said second slot being structured such that first slot and said second slot are symmetrical about a line extending through said front point and said rear point. ### Claim 13 A tassel securing graduation cap device comprising: a skull cap; a board coupled to said skull cap, said board having a perimeter edge, said board being square wherein said perimeter edge of said board defines a front point, a rear point, and a pair of lateral points; a tassel; a line having a first end coupled to said board and a second end coupled to said tassel such that said line extends over said perimeter edge of said board; a slot, said slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board, said line being positionable in said slot wherein said slot inhibits sliding of said line along said perimeter edge of said board, said slot having a first section extending inwardly from said perimeter edge of said board, said first section forming an acute angle with said perimeter edge of said board, said slot having a second section extending into said board from a distal end of said first section relative to said perimeter edge of said board, each of said first section and said second section of said slot being straight, said slot extending into said perimeter edge along a side of said perimeter edge between said front point and one of said lateral points, said first section of said slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board such that said first section extends towards said one of said lateral points and away from said front point, said slot being a first slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board; and a second slot, said second slot extending into said perimeter edge of said board between said front point and a second one of said lateral points, said second slot being structured such that first slot and said second slot are symmetrical about a line extending through said front point and said rear point.
