"
Building
the
annual
Bonfire
in
September
1928
at the
Alaska
University
.
Cataloguer's
note
: The
Annual
(freshman)
bonfire
was
evidently
an
elaborate
and
momentous
affair
; as
seen
by the
amount
of
work
that
went
into
building
it
.
Measuring
50
-
60
feet
high
, the
bonfire
was
built
for the
purpose
of
commemorating
the
beginning
of a
new
year
and the
passing
of the "
torch
of
Knowledge
" to the
freshmen
class
. The
lighting
of the
Bonfire
continues
on
today
as a
UAF
tradition
.
