Footprint stencil used in prank by UQ students

  • F3327
  • Item
  • 1953

Original stencil of a footprint. The footprint was one of several used in a Commemoration Week prank in 1953. Commemoration Week was the week when degrees were presented to students and a week when students engaged in activities, including pranks.

According to the article in Semper Floreat from May 14, 1953, two students had the footprints stencilled off, climbed to the roof of the main tower of the Forgan Smith building on Tuesday 28th [of April] and on their descent attached the footprints (in an upward direction) with durex tape to the building (most of which were blown off the building due to windy weather). It was regarded as one of the cleverest Commempranks. The next night the mountaineers glued more footprints, this time going down the building.
