When Princeton was an all-male institution, dates had to be brought in for weekend social events.  These “imports,” such as the women pictured here, were often housed en masse on the upper floors of the eating clubs.  This photograph appeared as part of a pictorial spread in Holiday Magazine in 1950 about the University’s social life.
