Happy Slope Day

Enjoy the "last day of classes," which for most students is a day without classes.

The music begins at 1:30, and runs until around 5:30.

The Sun had a nice piece yesterday about Slope Day history:

Throughout the 1990’s, Slope Day continued to remain an open, relaxed event with little planning or administrative intervention: Cornellians simply congregated on the Slope to drink. In fact, some of the more industrious and ambitious students even took the trouble to bury kegs on the slope the night before Slope Day in order to maximize their potential alcohol consumption during the concert. Such stunts were mostly the result of fraternity ingenuity and thus new members would be sent out at night to bury kegs. The next day frat members would carry couches over to the slope, put them on top of the buried kegs and run the tap up through the couch.

Have fun and be safe.
