During the war, social activities and campus life in general were influenced
by the Navy presence. Friday night Happy Hour, Visitors' Day, the Regimental
Ball, and the Ring Dance were all Navy traditions that were widely popular
among Tufts and Jackson students. Although the war had altered the priorities
of Tufts as an institution, the Navy programs on campus and the war effort
did not stop students from enjoying their college years.
Ring Dance
Tufts NROTC held its first ring dance on August 26, 1944 based on the
well-known Annapolis tradition. Each graduate walked through the huge
ring where he received a ring and a kiss from his "VERY best girl."
