For 143 years, Lehigh University and Lafayette College have engaged in college
football's most played rivalry. Accompanying this long-lived tradition is
the Lehigh/Lafayette Bonfire. In the past, the bonfire was the capstone event
leading up to the ever-important football game. Built to a height in proportion
with the number of students in the first-year class, students guarded the
bonfire for a week, all day and all night. At the same time, upper-class
members of both Lehigh and Lafayette would attempt to the light the opposing
school's bonfire early. Although this weeklong vigil no longer exists,
the Lehigh/Lafayette Bonfire still embodies the same feelings, excitement, and
emotion that it has in years past. |
