Hundreds, if not thousands of 18-19 year old men and women at ivy league schools were forced to pose nude for some kind of weird Eugenics experiment, and this was happening in secret throughugh the 50s and all the way to the early 70s....how fucked up is that?
Aparrently some of these photos still exist and folks such as George W, Hillary Clinton and Meryl Streep all did this, along with countless other traumatized men and women. I knew the brits were suppoed to have eccentric fucked up aristocaracy, but sounds like the yanks are just as crazy ape bonkers once you get to the upper eschelons of society.
Hersey went on to say that the pictures were actually made for anthropological research: "The reigning school of the time, presided over by E. A. Hooton of Harvard and W. H. Sheldon" -- who directed an institute for physique studies at Columbia University -- "held that a person's body, measured and analyzed, could tell much about intelligence, temperament, moral worth and probable future achievement.
Mm gotta love early Eugenics theory - but i thought that stuff died out in the 1930s! And there is was, getting old pervs off up till the 70s by taking nudie pics of young students. No wonder all these people now wanna make everyone else suffer...
