The festivals and parades etc probably only started in the counterculture of the 60's but I've read accounts here and there on the internet of parties and private gatherings where nudity was an occasional feature at US colleges even in the 40's and 50's, its just back then no-one would ever acknowledge them. The problem is most of us didn't get invited to those parties, and it is only in recent years with the internet that we have become aware of things which are going on at other colleges or even the ones we went to! Now it's very easy to find out everything that is going on everywhere, so we have no excuse for missing a thing. I wish I was 18 again!
