Here are some classic images from Dartmouth College during 1977. Faculty still wore tweed jackets and ties, along with heavy-duty longwings and bluchers. It was a time when boat shoes, Maine Hunting Boots, Levis cords, hiking boots, quilted down vests & jackets, raincoats, hiking coats, and rugby shirts were pretty popular. It was a very outdoors style and a bit scruffy. It was cool, and I guess I still think it is.
This photo looks so natural and relaxed, as if every group photo should have a large axe. On the subject of things relaxed and a bit scruffy, the Grateful Dead played at Dartmouth College's Thompson Arena in the spring of 1978 not long after these photos were probably taken. The concert can be heard
here on the Internet Archive. It's a solid show, and great soundboard recording (Estimated>Eyes is a good one). Coupled with these images, the music helps make the past seem as if it weren't that long ago.
