October 30th, 1929- The Day a Cow Entered Parrish
In the wake of Halloween, I think it’s appropriate to celebrate the 80th anniversary of one of the more wonderful pranks ever pulled at Swarthmore: the Cow Episode. On December 4, 1929, the editor of the Phoenix received a letter from the owner of Crumwald, a nearby farm with some loose connections to the college.

Fathers are crying at the thought of having to repaint the Parrish foyer because students used packing tape to hang their signs instead of masking tape that could have removed without destroying the paint.

Does anyone know if these were saved after? What group sponsored?
