Do a bit of research on the Hasty Pudding Club and you will find it has an annual theater type production. HPC started at Harvard and was originally all male, therefore, guess what guys had to play the women's roles! Imagine that!
Research a bit further and you will find few familar names associated with the club--FDR,JFK, JQ Adams, Teddy Roosevelt!
Very fine piece of research, there. Seems like Hasty Pudding is just like Paint and Powder, which I describe in my column.
