An enormous pumpkin materialized in the office of President John R. Kroger in December, courtesy of a fleet-footed band of students who wheeled the gargantuan gourd in on a handcart, deposited it on the presidential coffee table, and promptly abstracted themselves from view. Details of the shadowy operation remain unclear, but it seems that the stupendous squash—which weighed well over 100 pounds—was raised on the Flamingo Ridge Farm and resided in Commons for some time before its great migration to Eliot Hall. Students penned messages of holiday cheer on the colossal cucurbit, which graced the president’s office for several weeks before rejoining the nitrogen cycle.
