About 10 years ago, my ring was stolen from my house in a robbery.
I got the replacement and wore it for many years. I called the past president of the ring committee and ordered a replacement. Peter Dinhofer ’75 I lost my ring just after graduation. Having graduated many years ago (Class of 1950) some of my ring’s features are no longer discernable, but the beaver still attracts notice–and comment!Ĭhristine Yu '10 shared a photo of her brass rat in tough shape.
The owner’s dog dug it up 10 years later!Įrnie Anschutz ’50 I too lost my ring while washing my car, finding it a day later after sifting through leaves all over my driveway. Ten years later I’m feeling rich enough to buy a replacement and six months after getting my replacement, my old ring is sent back to me! Evidently I lost it while passing thru a backyard in Newton on my way to visit a friend. I thought I had lost it while on the trail around Lake Waban. Glenn Nelson ’74 In 1974 a week before I graduated I lost my ring (class of 73, though). After we shared that story, you chimed in with miraculous stories of your own. With the help of an Alabama woman, a local news station, and the Alumni Association, Meyer was reunited with his ring in August. We recently shared the story of Stephen Meyer ’64 who lost his brass rat 50 years ago while washing a car. While many brass rats have been lost, sunk, or destroyed over the years, some of those brass rats do come back. Just as alumni leave MIT, sometimes their class ring leaves them. While many traditions occur on campus, one tradition leaves with graduates-the brass rat. MIT has many unique traditions: pianos are dropped from buildings, hacks randomly appear atop the Great Dome, and students always go for a swim in their first weeks at the Institute.
