The
question was: When and what was the Bermuda Rebellion?
"In the fall of 1962, students staged the Bermuda Rebellion
in response to a rule that students were to dress for dinner.
Large numbers of students chose to wear Bermuda shorts to
dinner, too many to keep out. The requirement was thrown out
after the incident. With that victory, students soon challenged
many other campus social regulations."
