  1. Flip-flops: a regrettable choice of Ivy footwear for over 50 years.

  7. Truly disturbing to see that flip-flops were being worn at Princeton in 1960.

    Southern California, yes, but Princeton? So, the decline had already begun then.

  8. I had to look twice - 1960 looks much like today - nice pics.

  10. lol some of these comments...

    Not 60's.. flip flops, Indian and African-americans.

    Fascinating how upper class Indian americans are carrying some of the sharper dressed traditions today, though perhaps not here. Find your local Anglo-american with shrunken posture, lack of sun, and various pieces of metal stretching his skin at your local Starbucks.
