In the past, Midwinters Weekend
has been regarded as an essential
element of the University's
social life. Its history has been
studded with dangerous exploits
and glorious conquests, and each
year seems to boast unprecedented
new achievements. In the year
of 1959, the University community
witnessed a nine hour blast
at one house. The celebrated
window smasher stole the show
during the 1962 Midwinters,
when he refused treatment of his
gushing wounds. His reward was
arrest on the charges of public
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
