Architects Invade Cornell Libraries: Dragon Day Hijinks.

At 9:38, Monday, March 9, 2009, between 50 to 60 Architecture Students, disguised as College of Engineering students invaded Olin Library. According to one Olin Library Student worker, the Architecture students, complete with thick rimmed glasses and pocket protectors, reported to Olin Library staff that they each have “checked out 92 books and will return them by tomorrow.” Additionally, the mob requested Mat Lab study guides.

After many physics puns and high fives by the disguised students, Cornell Library staff attempted to remove the mob from Olin Library. The attempt failed, as the students retreated to Olin Cafe to continue the “demonstration”.

One Olin Library student worker recounts the event, “They get the idea to go to the cafe’ since this is outta our jurisdiction there is nothing we can do as architects are dancing with each other in a very nerdy fashion and grinding against the windows in slow motion…It is ridiculous as the nerds go outside and rub up against the glass and sell dragon day t-shirts, they laugh at us as we stand at the desk.”
