Why Fenway? Well, our Ring Delivery (when we get our rings) will be there!! ~ Kirsten
Fenway can be seen on the Boston skyline.
You can see the double pendulum in action on the Cambridge skyline.
Speaking of CPW, last year East Campus build a double pendulum for brave prefrosh to take a ride in. Also on the bezel is the green building, how it was seen during the tetris hack last year during CPW! I was in Boston when I saw it happen, and it just warms my heart to see it on the ring.~Ana. Thus on the Boston Skyline, you can see a Delorean making it’s appearance in the future. Remember that awesome movie, Back to the Future? Well in the second movie, Marty travels to the future… the year 2015 to be exact. On the Seal shank you can find the curiosity rover :D ~Ana It has not one, but TWO space exploration references! On the Bezel’s sidewalk is a footprint, commemorating the life of Neil Armstrong. And apparently the class of 1999 was the first to have the Hacker’s Map on the inside. And Matt ’00 (And he gives you a look at the brass rats from 2000-2010 :D). If you google anything about the Brass Rat, you might find that… Some ideas appear from year to year (such as “IHTFP” and the ivy leaves), while others are meant to commemorate attributes from only the class. For such a small piece of jewelry, it has so many symbols on it in honor of various events and ideas. Basically, every class gets to choose a committee to design the class’ ring.
MIT has a very long and rich tradition of “The Standard Technology Ring” (but everyone calls it the Brass Rat). Last Friday, Kirsten ’15 and I ( well actually the whole class of 2015) lined up outside in the chilly weather right outside of Kresge auditorium for a good half hour.
