Even without such publicity, the idea of nude photographs taken of young men and women attending the most elite colleges in the country over a period of forty or fifty years breathes scandal. They seem mysteriously unnecessary, their purpose inscrutable. In order to understand why these colleges took these pictures, it is necessary to assess the obsession with instilling correct posture into young people in the first half of the twentieth century. At Vassar, it is therefore necessary to turn to the department of physical education. Progressive physical education was part of Vassar's curriculum from the beginning.
