Students in Scotland’s St Andrews University took part in the annual ‘foam party’ in St Salvador’s Quad over the weekend during the Raisin Day celebrations.
The Raisin Day is a traditional carnival where first year students of the university have a wild foam party with their ‘parents’ or seniors. Festivities continue throughout the weekend and culminate in a foam fight on Monday morning.
The legend goes that first years used to give sacks of raisins to their seniors as a mark of respect, but how raisins gave way to the crazy foam fight is not clear. Well, it doesn’t really matter, does it?
Here are some crazy photographs. Enjoy!
