Posted byAnn KhanPosted inUncategorized

check out the Engineering Library’s MECCA exhibit an Engineering celebration very popular from the 1920-1970 celebrated with parades, long beard contests, finding and kissing the Blarney stone by upper classman.  The Blarney stone imported from Ireland was lost for 27 years.

Some pictures from parades and events from political statements having to do with the war and thoughts about science with captions like “Science?–HELL NO! Mars is wet.”  To floates that were meant to be fun.
