When I first embarked on my quest for the lost nude “posture photos,” I could not decide whether to think of the phenomenon as a scandal or as an extreme example of academic folly — of what happens when well-intentioned institutions allow their reverence for the reigning conjectures of scientific orthodoxy to persuade them to do things that seem silly or scandalous in retrospect. And now that I’ve found them, I’m still not sure whether outrage or laughter is the more appropriate reaction. Your response, dear reader, may depend on whether your nude photograph is among them. And if you attended Yale, Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Smith or Princeton — to name a few of the schools involved — from the 1940’s through the 1960’s, there’s a chance that yours may be.

Elite American colleges like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Smith, Wellesley College and Brown University had all the first-year students to pose nude as part of a on “posture”. During the posture sessions, some doctors were usually present to take a look at the male students and determine if they needed to enroll in a posture-correcting program.

Starting in the 1940s, a group of upper-echelon colleges and universities in the northeast United States ran a program originally aimed to study the human posture. These schools — Harvard, Mount Holyoke, Princeton, Radcliffe (before it became part of Harvard), Smith, Swarthmore, Vassar, Wellesley, and Yale — were all members of the Ivy League, the Seven Sisters,or other groups of well-regarded institutions of higher learning. A researcher named William H. Sheldon convinced these schools to compel incoming freshman into posing nude for his photographer, under the pretense of studying things like scoliosis and rickets. But in reality, Sheldon was studying something else, a theory he called “constitutional psychology,” or the correlation between a person’s body shape and their intelligence.
