Up in Flames
Students look on as the homecoming bonfire reaches more than ten stories into the air at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology on September 23, 2011.
The fire is constructed by first-year students at the institute, and topped with an old-fashioned outhouse. Legend says that if the outhouse falls through the timbers before it is incinerated, the Fightin' Engineers will win the homecoming game. The outhouse did indeed crash through before being turned to ash.
