HistoryLink.org—"the Free Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History"—reminds us, May 20 was the 57th anniversary of the University of Washington's most humongous panty raid:

On May 20, 1952, about 1,000 male students at the University of Washington stage a panty raid, storming women’s dormitories and sororities and shouting "We want panties!" Panty fever also struck Washington State College (now Washington State University) and more than 50 other campuses around the same time, in what Time magazine called "the first really daffy outbreak by U.S. college students since the days before World War II" (June 2, 1952).

No kidding. Today, the students would probably be arrested and charged with harassment, breaking and entering, and a host of other charges. Oh yeah, you can't forget the inevitable civil lawsuits.
