Quick glance at Albany tradition


The video above shows University of Albany successfully setting the record for the world's largest pillow fight. The school also held the record for largest game of musical chairs. I believe both these records were broken on Fountain Day. Some insight into what that is:
Fountain Day is UAlbany’s annual rite of spring when the main fountain at  the center of the Academic Podium is turned on for the season. This event draws a huge cross-section of the University Community, gathering students, faculty, and staff for an afternoon of festivities. Fountain Day began in 1978 as Human Awareness Potential day. The University President is usually on hand to preside over the ceremony by tossing out the “First Frisbee” of the season. In recent years, Fountain Day has been shaped into a carnival-esque atmosphere complete with beach balls, free caricatures, free massages, fried dough vendors, tropical smoothie bars, music, contests, giveaways, and more fun!
Sounds interesting.
