Abstract
Student protest is a new phenomenon. Riotous behaviour is not, for there have always been the carnivals, rags, boat-race suppers and orgies of temporary anti-social but comparatively harmless, ‘horse-play’ that have been known popularly since Chaucer’s day as ‘high-spirits’. It is only in recent years, however, that student riots have become student revolt.
