Dress Code 1962 - 1963

For campus wear women's clothes should be comfortable, practical, and easy to care for -- no silks, satins or Cassini creations.  Crinolines and other voluminous underpinnings are both out of place and awkward in the classroom and slacks are not considered the thing to wear on campus.

For classes, a skirt and a sweater or blouse, or a basic wool dress are acceptable.  Flat-heeled shoes are the most practical, although many co-eds totter from pot-hole to mudpuddle in high heels.  An essential item is a warm raincoat and a good umbrella is desirable.

For casual dances, wool dresses and heels are fashionable.  Semi-formal dances call for a party or cocktail dress.  Full length evening dresses are worn only at graduation.

Campus men traditionally wear casual clothes.  Slacks and a sweater or sport shirt are the most popular, although many of the upper classmen frequently wear a white collar outfit.

For dances, etc., men usually wear suits or sports jackets.  More formal affairs call for dark suits.

There is little demand for blue jeans, black leather jackets and hobnail boots.
