Johns Hopkins University's first-year undergraduate students gathered for a formal affair Tuesday evening at the ceremonial High Table dinner, an annual tradition created in the spirit of the centuries-old dining styles of Oxford and Cambridge.

In a transformed Rec Center, complete with banquet-style tables, black drapery, and gold plated flatware, students hobnobbed with their professors, deans, and university administrators over a three-course meal.

"We talked about everything from Baltimore's hidden gems to the craziness of this year's presidential election," said AJ Tsang, a member of the Freshman Class Council.
