At Sweet Briar (a touch north of Radford) in '66 you could wear jodhpurs to
class if your riding class butted up to one of your other classes, but we
could wear jeans when not in class (the theatre prof let us techie types

Even in the public schools of hippy San Francisco (go Lincoln Mustangs!) we
weren't allowed to wear pants until my senior year, Sept or Oct, 1969 and

Hi Kate (Sweetbriar) and Catherine (Radford)
I was at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia from
1964-1966. Then I went to Northwestern. Because I was there such a brief
time and because new clothes were bought for college, I have all sorts of

My Junior year, coats and ties were no longer required except for Sunday

Yes, that. The boys at our school (public) had to wear trousers (no jeans
or shorts) and collared shirts (no tanks or tees). Shoes and socks, no
sandals. No facial hair. Haircuts no longer than the bottom of the collar.
No earrings (not that a lot of guys had pierced ears - YET.) No
