Massive Lather Fight at St Andrews University

泡沫大戰(zhàn)在圣安德魯斯大學拉開帷幕

Having foam: Students from St Andrews University participate in the traditional Raisin Monday celebration. These frolicking freshers look like there's nowhere else they'd lather be. In a bizarre ancient tradition, hundreds of first years had a massive foam fight at Scotland's St Andrews University yesterday. The event was part of the annual Raisin Monday celebration, which is believed to date back to when the university was founded in 1413. First years paraded into St Salvator's Quadrangle, known as 'The Quad', in fancy dress, before the 30-minute foam battle kicked off. Students were left covered head-to-toe and the foam was so thick it was used to style hair during the skirmish. Raisin Monday weekend is designed to help new students integrate more easily into university life.
