When was the Harvard streaking festival and when did this tradition begin?

If you have seen the American film Love Story, you should be deeply impressed by the efforts of Harvard students. Defiant Harvard students have invented their own ways to relieve stress, and streaking on campus before the final exams twice a year is their most outrageous and exaggerated way to relax.

When did the streaking on campus begin? It can't be traced back. It is held at Harvard yard in May and June every year, 65438+February. It is a game for students to vent their emotions voluntarily. Winter in Boston is very cold. 10 it began to snow in late June, and it was almost MINUS 10 degrees around Christmas. Streaking on campus in winter is an almost cruel game, which requires courage and perseverance. Of course, this scene is more exciting and attractive.

On the eve of the exam that year, the temperature plummeted, and we huddled in the air-conditioned room of the apartment and dared not go out, wondering if anyone would take part in streaking this year. At midnight, at MINUS ten or twenty degrees, we stripped off our clothes and ran around the campus, freezing to death! In the evening, after 1 1, I asked my friend to drive across the river to see what happened.

The closer you get to Harvard field, the more excited you are. Obviously, the streaking of 12 at night went on as usual, and many people participated.

The Harvard compound is brightly lit and there are more and more people in the yard. The school flag was inserted in front of the bronze statue of Harvard, and the members of the school band stood in front and played the Harvard school song. Brave students stood in front of the dormitory building and tried their best to drink vodka spirits. One is to drive away the cold, and the other is to cheer up the heroic spirit.

Midnight 12, streaking officially begins! There are very few students who have just started streaking, and they are a little shy. The key parts are blocked with trinkets. Suddenly, the college radio station began to play passionate music, which was deafening. The power of music is infinite, and the power of example is infinite. More and more people began to take off their clothes at the school gate, eager to try. More students ran into the stadium, and some female students joined the streaking, gradually forming a streaking team of hundreds of people around the campus. The students who streaked became more calm and showed themselves without scruple, as if they were a group of natural people running in the wilderness.

Boys and girls are naked, and some say hello to us while running, making faces at us, not afraid of the camera in our hands at all. Strange to say, I don't feel embarrassed or embarrassed at all, but I look at this group of wayward and youthful students with appreciation.

Harvard yard is not big, it only takes a few minutes to run around. Some boys want more. They competed naked in the cold snow and did push-ups. Others put on their coats, and the Russian March began to play over Harvard. An excited boy, wearing a velvet hat and coat, boarded the small platform on the second floor and shouted at the students below. He might find the scene of the Russian October Revolution!

A group of young people with boiling blood express their youthful enthusiasm by streaking-you may think it's ridiculous, but I feel that irresistible passion! Crazy but cute, in this life, except at this age, except at Harvard, where can I witness such surging youth?
