Dragon Day 2008

Dragon watchers of all ages come out to see this year's creation

Every year around St. Patrick's Day, in a tradition whose origins go back more than 100 years, an enormous dragon created by the first-year architecture students parades across the campus. Accompanied by AAP students in outrageous costumes and heckled by rival engineering students, the dragon lumbers to the Arts Quad to be consumed by a huge bonfire. This rite of spring is one of Cornell's best-known traditions.
