Coats with fur trim or made entirely of fur were popular choices for both men and women on campus.
Raccoon fur coats were particularly popular with the college crowd for football games. Obsessive
dieting was the result of fashion�s decree that girls should look boyish and the cigarette became a

To have your hair �bobbed� meant to have it cut. Short hair was considered radical and college girls were
among the first to embrace the style. The sailor style blouse had been popular for many years and in the
early 1920�s it was still worn by the young. These college women were radical in their hairstyles, but
still conservative in dress. In Utah, a pending stature provided for the imprisonment of women whose
skirts were higher than three inches above the ankle. College officials across the country believed
that the youth revolt which was occurring was the sign of a serious moral crisis.
