What Is Showering Nudes, And How To Taking It?

In high-profile colleges in the United States, such as the Ivy Leagues and Seven Daughters, naked photos were frequently taken between the 1940s and 1960s. ]1]]2]]3]]4 ] Purportedly taken to assess the posture and health of the students, the bulk of the photographs were produced by W. H. Sheldon, a psychologist and eugenicist who believed non-white races were intellectually stunted. [1 ] Francis Galton, the proponent of nazism, who suggested creating a photo library for the British people, gave him the idea to take large numbers of images for his research. According to a concept developed by Sheldon, a human physique can be measured to determine a person's intelligence, temperament, and moral worth. ]1 ]

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Vassar, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, Swarthmore, University of Pennsylvania, Hotchkiss, Syracuse, University of California, University of Wisconsin, Purdue, Brooklyn College, the Oregon Hospital for the Criminally Insane, and others were just a few of the universities that had "posture photograph" initiatives. The centuries in which each establishment participated vary. Some colleges, such as Harvard and Wellesley, had their own practice of taking pose pics nicely before Sheldon's presence, as early as the 1880s.

After ending their posture photo practices, the schools in the 1960s and '70s voluntarily destroyed the majority of the photo archives. ]1]]5 ] After Sheldon's death in 1977, his personal archives-over 20, 000 photos and negatives-were acquired by the Smithsonian Institution's National Anthropological Archives.
