Cornell’s annual Dragon Day festivities started off well this year. But shortly after the parade — as I sat handcuffed to a wall in the Barton Police station — I knew that something had gone terribly wrong.
As a fourth-year architecture student and campus tour guide, I know the importance of Dragon Day as a longstanding Cornell tradition. The event serves as an expression of school spirit, a celebration of spring, and a rite of passage within the school of architecture.
