Mountain Day is the oldest tradition at Juniata, in existence in some form since the late 1800s. On a beautiful fall day, classes are canceled and everyone flocks to one of the state parks in the area for a day of outdoor fun including a picnic lunch, nature walks, crafts, music, tug-of-war, and the spirited faculty/staff vs. seniors co-ed flag football game.

The most unique element of Mountain Day is that no one knows in advance when it is going to occur! Trying to guess the date of Mountain Day is one of the most-popular topics of conversation among the students and faculty in the weeks leading up to the event.

Wasn't Mountain Day started because a few students were avoiding a TB quarantine?

Dr. Yeti said...

Yeah, there was some kind of disease scare...probably just a bad breakout of smegma.

I guess it could've been the first outbreak of "Baker Sickness" too.
