Happy Dolphy Day

It's killing me to have to sit at my desk here on campus (been working at Le Moyne since I graduated from here) and look out the window and see everyone having fun. I walked down around the quad at lunch time and ran into my brother, who's a senior, and asked him to sneak me a beer from his buddy's place.
 
I'm a Le Moyne grad and never gave much thought as to why a Dolphin was chosen as the mascot. I also never understood how an institution founded and run by Jesuits, and at face value overly concerned with the importance of a rigorous foundation in ethics in an effort to develop moral character, was filled with people so ready to indulge in decadence and debauchery (Dolphy Day is actually a poor example in my experience).

Somehow I stumbled on this, and everything made sense:

Tell "the wizard" that the payside knew about this 4 weeks ago.

Happy Dolphy Day!

And Dolphy day is not about "decadence and debauchery". It's about letting loose and having fun. Decadence and debauchery? Are you sure you went to Le Moyne?
