Naked Quad Run
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Naked Quad Run is an annual tradition among the student body at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Every December, on the night of the final day of fall semester classes, students gather during the evening to run naked around the Rez Quad several times. Because of injuries during previous years when the event was unsanctioned by the university, the administration designated the evening as the Nighttime Quad Reception and provides refreshments and entertainment.[1]
The run became particularly controversial in 2007 when the Somerville Journal published photos of the event and posted a video on the internet. Students were upset with the coverage of what many of them considered a private event.[2] [3]
