Posted the other day on college life in the 17th century. Now I'll mention an aspect of it in the 20th century--specifically panty raids.
I was reminded of that 1950's fad by a short mention in the media re: Kavanagh--apparently Yale men raided women's rooms for their lingerie. That seems to differ from what men were doing in the early 1950's, which was gather under the women's dorms and beg for panties. I suppose the big difference is the fact we had women's dorms then; today there's no similar concentration of women to exploit. The underlying motivations were likely the same.
