One of the more unusual university rituals has played out at St Andrews in Scotland.
The messy display took place on Raisin Monday, the culmination of a weekend of festivities when St Andrews first years say thank-you to their more senior student “parents” for mentoring them.
The so-called “children” were given embarrassing costumes to wear before they descended on St Salvator’s Quad for a huge shaving foam fight, part of a centuries-old tradition.
