It’s decidedly autumn here on the Vancouver campus of UBC. Chilly walks, a desire for soups, and some costume scheming are in the ether. If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are a few from Open Collections.

(Pop)Culturally Appropriate, a clown from the Ubyssey:

This photo from 1919 is a little far away, but there are some great hats throughout. Perhaps something Newsies-related would capture the time:

In1984, George Pedersen wore a Superman Costume. Bonus points for anyone who can pinpoint where on campus this photo was taken:

Of course, the theatre department has no shortage of costumes. Here, Joy Coghill for a performance of The Visit:

Regardless of costume, you can donate food at UBC Library for a reduction of fines:
