Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. From 1935, Massey University capping traditions included a students procession from the University campus to Marae o Hine/The Square. Locally known as Procesh, students built floats which reflected social commentary of the day, often delivered in satirical fashion. A feature of the event was a street collection to raise funds for charities. Student behaviour during capping week became rowdier by the 1960s, resulting in criticism from the public. The last Procesh was held in 1987.
