Degree Day Rag By Trinity Students (1926)
Various shots of students in fancy dress messing about on the steps to an old college building; some are dressed in drag, others as racial stereotypes (Arabs, African tribesmen etc.) and historical figures. A student dressed as a university professor holds fake degree presentation ceremony - he gives out badges to some of the others in fancy dress. A male student dressed as a belly dancer inspects a row of students with false beards; the belly dancer pinches their knees and biceps.
