Golden – Hundreds of freshman at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden lined up this morning for the traditional white-washing of the giant “M” on Mount Zion.
Students climbed the hillside, each carrying a boulder – some as heavy as ten pounds – to add to the school’s highly-visible symbol. The rocks were then painted white, as were many of the students.
More than 800 freshmen and transfer students were invited to participate.
The “M” is the largest lit school emblem in the world, measuring 104 feet
by 107 feet and boasting more than 500 15-watt light bulbs.
