Social Calendar
Much of a Rutgers education takes place outside the classroom. Being with friends. Going to events. Just learning about yourself.

Dance the Night Away
Talk about a full dance card! Walter Jones AG’25 was a busy man in the fall of 1921. At the freshman reception, he attended his first collegiate dance, sharing 10 dances with eight first-year women to the strains of Johnson’s Orchestra. He twice danced the fox-trot with Alice Croot NJC’25, who ended up being his first date at Rutgers when he invited her to the Autumn Dance at the Ford Hall Club.
