| 説明 | I think this is in 1999 as alumni, at the 6 am warmup kegger in advance of the legendary grease pole event...68.142.214.24/photos/tyner/243597577/in/photostream/68.142.214.24/photos/tyner/43061731/68.142.214.24/photos/phil_lai/280033759/Until the Engineering Frosh have climbed the pole and seized the tam, they cannot be considered an official year.For over 40 years, The Grease Pole has been the traditional finale of Frosh Week at Queen's University. This is the event that bonds hundreds of strangers, all fiercely proud of their faculty and university.Once the tam has been torn away, the first year Engineers officially become members of the Queen's Engineering family. The pole was originally a University of Toronto (UT) goal post. UT officials, fed up with Queen's fans knocking down their goal posts after football games, decided to erect posts of steel. However, on the night before the game, some Queen's engineers cut through one of the posts, leaving just enough uncut metal to support it.After the game, Queen's easily removed the pole and shipped it to Kingston via Winnipeg. Since that time, the pole has been on permanent loan. After a year has successfully climbed the pole, they must guard it until the next year’s climb. Sometimes stolen by upper years, it has been returned for a queen’s ransom in beer after being hidden at the bottom of a lake, inside the hull of an ocean liner, deep within a forest, and locked up behind the walls of a Kingston prison.The Grease Pole — another tradition that binds students together at Queen’s. |
