Miami1839,

I'm very familiar with the Snowball Rebellion! January 12 and 13, 1848. We had to learn about it during pledging, it was on one of our tests. Ever since joining a fraternity, my appreciation for history has shot up amazingly! Ironically, just last week I sat here on my computer reading a history of Miami University on their library website and there was a big part about the Snowball Rebellion. Kinda funny when you read it, they barracaded (sp?) the doors with huge snowballs a few nights, and each morning the janitor would come and have to find a way in. I remember reading something about how he had to break a window to get in one day. I bet when those students did that they never thought we'd be talking about it 153 years later
