Princeton
We've already seen Princeton's tradition of holding the Nude Olympics after the first snowfall. Today we look at some other Princeton naked traditions. Above, Princeton rugby players in 1982 during their annual Jock Run. Every year after the last spring practice, the rugby players strip down to their jockstraps and run around campus.
Eating clubs are an institution at Princeton. Princeton does not have fraternities, but it has private eating clubs, which serve as dining halls and social houses for the majority of upperclassmen.
The photo above and the next three were taken at an eating club in 1987-1990 by Nelson Hancock, Princeton '90. Above, a student crowd surfs naked. This might have happened during the spring "bicker", when sophomores compete to be accepted at an eating club, a process which is said to vary from club to club from staid interviews to raucous games. Or it might have been some other social event.
Whatever it was, it involved a lot of naked crowd surfing.

And another naked crowd surfer.
Of course, Princeton is a leading institution of learning and culture. Above is a statue on the campus called Abraham and Isaac. Only problem: does the thing sticking out of the guy on the left, which is supposed to a dagger, look like something else to you? The statue is widely known on campus as the "blowjob statue."
Speaking of which, we end with this cartoon by artist Felix d'Eon. Princeton boys know all the tricks.

love Felix d'Eon!
Does Princeton still allow this? The way things are going, I would be surprised if they do.
I mean, these males are ashamed to strip naked in a locker room. It's hard to believe they still go in for this stuff.
I get the feeling Princeton boys have had a reputation...
There's a line in the song sung by Matron Mama Morton in the movie "Chicago" that says-- "Let's all stroke together / like the Princeton crew..."

What a fun post.
At home, we call it 'student baptisms' which take place at the start of the school year, but I think that at Princeton we celebrate it several times a year! I think that after all these exposures, the students no longer have complexes about nudity!
Buy those Princeton boys some clothes! It's a darn shame they have to go around naked like that.
