Bal de l'Internat

Originally established as a banquet in 1852, the Bal de l’Internat gave aspiring doctors an opportunity “to blow off steam” before submitting to another year of rigorous training and study.[25]As the one official social release given to medical students, this annual event was also a celebration of equality before the competitive concours, the results of which would determine students’ professional fates. Known as “the most conventional [ball]in the world,” the Bal de l’Internat had, for almost half a century, eschewed the carnivalesque for a solidly bourgeois reputation
