A giant maroon beast—made of steel rods, chicken wire, cardboard, and fabric—paraded across campus in March for the annual Dragon Day celebration. But this year, the dragon didn’t meet its traditional fiery end, thanks to new state environmental restrictions on open burning; architecture students had to settle for immolating a “nest” of lumber, hay, and a faux dragon’s egg. After confronting the Engineering college’s phoenix, the dragon (designed by Kyle Schumann ’13) was safely returned to Rand Hall.
