This home movie clip from 1956 shows Colgate University's campus, which is in Hamilton, New York, and a "spring party" hosted by Colgate’s fraternity Delta Upsilon. The original film is partly damaged, shown here by the blotches of color that populate the clip throughout.  

Clip begins with a wide shot of an ornate, stone building. Several cars sit in the parking lot. 

Another stone building is shown with columns and a tower capped with a weathervane. A young white woman stands before the building, posing for the camera in a white coat. The woman takes several swings with a golf club as does a man. 

After more campus building shots, we see a number of young men and women socializing before a building with columns. Attendees are white and dressed in a casual, preppy style. Several are smoking cigarettes and drinking from cans.
