Class of 1973 Freshman Beanie
Lesley College's tradition of freshman initiation officially began in September 1944 when the seniors from class of 1945 asked that a list of demands be met by the newest members of the Lesley Community. According to those who witnessed it, that first initiation was never to be forgotten: "All forms of salaams and impromptu recitations were made, all automobiles in sight were spotlessly clean due to unaccustomed attention, and as a climax, a performance took place in front of [the class of] '45' that would equal that of the Radio City Rockettes" (Lesleyan, 1948, p.78). By 1949, freshman were required to wear a beanie to distinguish themselves during initiation. Donated by Leslie Aitken, '73, the 1973 beanie is one of the Lesley University Archives' most precious treasures.
