This photo from the 1937 Grist elicited, not surprisingly, lots of funny captions about the student in the fur coat.
We also got a lot of captions about that empty front row. It seems to be one of those quirks of human nature that we just avoid the front row, especially in a classroom or lecture setting. You鈥檒l find a lot of answers, theories, and opinions about this if you Google 鈥淲hy do people avoid the front row?鈥�
While we don鈥檛 know the full story behind this photo, the caption that accompanied it in the 1937 yearbook was, 鈥淎 Typical Class鈥擮ur roving camera man, while in the new Home Economics building, snapped this studious group.鈥�
Maybe some of the students in this photo were around the following year, 1938, when first lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited campus.
Thank you, readers, as always, fur all the fun captions.
