Klondike recently posted a batch of photos he got from a webshots album in
this post, which most responders identified as containing a mixture of new and familiar hidden/covering shots. So did I, I confess, until something caught my eye in the first photo attached to this post, and that thing was not any of the women pictured. It was the building. That building is unmistakably
DePauw University's East College Hall.
Immediately behind the women in the first posted photo, barely visible, is a boulder. The Boulder, an icon of DePauw. It is most notable as the focus of the Boulder Run tradition, where DePauw students run naked (or in the women's case, topless) from their living unit to the Boulder and back.
Klondike has discovered what are, to my knowledge, the only extant photos on the internet of a Boulder Run in progress. The Boulder Run especially features in the initiation ceremonies of most of DePauw's Greek organizations. I'm pretty sure that the second attached photo shows the same women, probably having just finished the run, posing in front of the Pi Beta Phi sorority house at DePauw.
Having done a Boulder Run or two myself and visited DePauw a number of times, I have always wanted to find some photo documentation of this event, and now I have! The webshots page is swamped, so I haven't been able to get in and see if there are any more Boulder Run photos, but these two are amazing enough. I just wanted to publicly acknowledge the fantastic find that Klondike made, which he himself may not be fully aware of.
Included as a bonus is the only other Boulder Run photo I've ever discovered, showing an entire sorority pledge class (from the same sorority house!) in the moments before the final strip and dash out the door.
