Tufts Naked Quad Run No More

Tufts University is getting rid of an unusual student tradition — celebrating the end of fall classes by running around the school quad...naked.

Tufts says the run promotes underage drinking and has become become too dangerous, and promises to start a new tradition.

Its a promise that sounded hollow to tufts senior Ben Gittleson.

"I think it's kind of a cop out to say, 'Oh, we'll just fill the void with a new tradition,' 'cause you can't just invent a new tradition, this one grew over decades, really," he said.

Twelve students were hospitalized and one was arrested at the last Naked Quad Run in December.
