Foamy war? St Andrews students play out modern take on ancient ritual

Scottish university’s annual tradition once involved giving out raisins but fancy dress and shaving cream now in vogue Nobody at St Andrews University in Scotland seems to remember how Raisin Monday became a giant foam fight.

This Monday however, hundreds wore fancy dress as they streamed on to St Salvator’s lower college lawn at 11am armed with cans of shaving foam, covering one another in soapy clouds as they have for the past few decades. Groups of students dress as Smurfs, mice, bananas, grandmas, sunflowers and chefs to participate in the annual rite of passage. Continue reading...
