Carlisle Police Halt Impromptu Parade

Mon., Oct. 19, 1931

In celebration of the 10-6 football victory over Penn State, the Dickinson student body organized an impromptu parade from the Old Gymnasium to Conway Hall and then on to Metzger Hall at 12:05am Monday morning. The College Band led the procession. The Carlisle Police attempted to disband the parade using tear gas. After the students sang and cheered on the Metzger lawn, they dispersed back toward campus. The Carlisle Police arrested five students who were later released on the agreement that, in return, the remaining students, who had regrouped in front of Old West, would go to bed.
