Three Oklahoma A&M College students return to campus in the fall of 1947. Big Hoss here seems to be taking it in stride.
Five Too Many
Campus Fashion: Then And Now, Part I
This was how campus gentlemen dressed in 1941.
This is how they dress now:
You set yourself up for this, Andy; you didn’t just fall out of your dorm bed into this outfit. I give you that it’s creative: a buffalo shirt, a Nirvana-throwback cardigan, striped “statement” socks, moccasins…But it’s certainly no herringbone topcoat.
And what about this male?
Aside from the “supermodel, work” stride, these pieces might work separately. I can see that he spent some time putting this together, matching wrist bracelet to ankle bracelet. It is casual, but it’s forced; the scrunched-up sleeves are affected. Perhaps it’s clean and current, but it’s just no match for a corduroy trouser.
In fact, pretty much any trouser looks better than an overdone jean.
Horseshoe pockets? Good luck with that.
Early Predecessor To Nestea Plunge
Ladies were living large during the 1939 University of Kansas Rush Week. From driving seatbeltless in convertibles to box-stepping to Benny Goodman,a good time was had by all.
Vaya con Dios, commoners!
And when things got down to the nitty gritty, these gals knew how to get the job done. Gossip columns don’t write themselves. 
Of course, somebody had to clean up the mess left behind. After all, not everybody can pledge. So like Carol Burnett mopping the floors, this woman put her hair up, grabbed the broom, and got her hands dirty.
Same sentiment, Carol?
She Blinded Me With Science
Fun entomology-related fact of the day: The term cuckoo bee is used for a variety of different bee lineages which have evolved the kleptoparasitic (no, not like Winona Ryder) behavior of laying their eggs in the nests of other bees, reminiscent of cuckoo birds. Female cuckoo bees can be easily recognized, as they lack pollen-collecting structures and do not construct their own nests (you mean the males do chores?). They often have reduced body hair, an abnormally thick or heavily-sculptured exoskeleton, and saber-like mandibles (wikipedia).
Try using that in a sentence today: saber-like mandibles.
