Great Harvard Panty Raid of 1965

I remember a couple of panty raids during my freshman year at the University of Wisconsin (1966-1967). They consisted of standing outside the women's high rise dorms and screaming for panties, which obliging coeds then threw out of their windows. Years earlier, in 1952, according to this link, as many as 5,000 male students participated, urged on by bugles. google books

Fritz--sorry the link did not work for you. When I click on it, it brings me direct to the panty raid article on page 22.

Paul -- I think Fritz was referring to the link in his first comment -- and if you didn't see it that's my fault. Fritz pasted the entire URL into his comment, but the length of the URL was breaking the formatting of the page, so I stealth edited it, making it a short (but unfortunately easy to overlook) clickable link.

Thanks, Alex! Panty raids were a fun distraction from classes back then. Of course, none of us knew what to do with the mostly soiled panties once we were showered with them, so they were discarded.

Since I went to a basically all-male school, we had no panties. Well...none that I can tell you about, anyway.

Progressive? Since when is The Harvard School of Law, Politics, and Class Protectionism anything but conservative? It's the US equivalent of Eton College!
