On the night of Saturday, Aug. 26, upperclassmen engineering students tested the school’s incoming freshmen engineering students for the various traits valued by the Washington University School of Engineering. The upperclassmen judged the freshmen’s abilities in a variety of fields, ranging from Morality and Teamwork to Computer Smashing and Ninja Skills. After a few grueling hours of logic puzzles and oddball games the freshmen were blindfolded and led into an auditorium in Louderman Hall. After reciting the Engineer’s Creed they were given their hard hats and welcomed to the Engineering School in a solemn candle-lit ceremony.
