Filling Kauke Arch With Snow
 |
Students work feverishly to fill the
Kauke Arch with snow following a snow storm in 2007. The
students succeeded in filling the Arch all the way to the
top.

One tradition that has taken on nearly mythical proportions
involves filling Kauke Arch with snow.
Legend has it that if the Arch can be filled to the top with
snow during the night, blocking the main doors, classes will
be cancelled the next day. (Conveniently overlooking the fact
that there are at least half a dozen other doors into the building.)
Hope springs eternal, however, and college officials make no
attempt (usually) to interfere with the students’ efforts. And while
classes have never been cancelled as a result, generations of
students who have taken part in the arch-filling festivities
remember it as an event that unites the student body in a powerful
way.
