This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 185: A large crowd gathered in front of the Quadrangle Dining Hall to watch women students perform in a May Day celebration, probably in the early 1940s. Not long afterward, coeds moved out of the Quad Dorms so soldiers could move in for specialized training by API professors. ... The women occupied fraternity houses emptied by male students leaving for military service. After the trainees left, women moved back into their dorm rooms, and May Day dancing replaced military formations. In the spring of 1946 nearly one hundred coeds performed on the Quad lawn and sidewalks in six sections of a dance recital, ranging from Chopin waltz to country music.
