Here is an example:

Evergroove trivia, pt. 34

This one really falls into the Evergreen version of an urban legend, but the story is too good to pass up. Supposedly, when B Dorm was filled with the very first population of student residents in 1971, the entire building communally dropped acid. This was followed by an epic water fight, which of course resulted in widespread damage. But before the housing officials could really start pressing charges, the students cleaned up the destruction out of their own pockets. I have yet to meet a single person who claims to have been there, but the story circulated throughout the decade. And even today, when hardened old Evergreeners tell tall tales around the campfire, this piece of lore will surface.

thanks for sharing the link. some pretty interesting stuff. i love hearing about what the college was like back 'in the day.'

a few weeks ago i was in the basement of the library with a friend and we came across copies of the original blueprints of the college, as well as some portfolios of what the 'new college' would look like, and how the campus would eventually accommodate over 50,000 students or some insane number. which we now know didn't happen-- obviously. i'll upload them once i get the time to scan them in. it's pretty funny stuff.

My uncle was in the very first graduating class there. I could ask him for some stories. I know one of their first assignments was for everyone in their class to dream the same dream. They would all focus on the same thing for a while before bed. And it never worked.
