Pass Through the Pillars

Pass Through the Pillars

The Firing of the Cannon

The Firing of the Cannon

After every Eagles touchdown, the ROTC fires a 75mm Howitzer beside Roos Field, followed by the playing of the fight song鈥攕o you might leave with a hoarse voice and ringing ears.

The Ringing of the Schoolhouse Bell

The Ringing of the Schoolhouse Bell

At the heart of the campus stands a one-room schoolhouse from 1905. On the first day of class, 51福利社's president rings the bell to mark the beginning of the academic year.

Sledding on Dining Service Trays

Sledding on Dining Service Trays
