After 20 Years, Can Cornell Finally Bust Open Its Great Pumpkin Mystery?

October 31, 2017
A highly weathered pumpkin sits atop the 173-foot tall McGraw Tower at Cornell University on Feb. 20, 1998, in Ithaca, N.Y. The pumpkin, estimated to weigh some 50 pounds originally was put up by unknown persons on Oct. 8, 1997, and surprised the campus by lasting through the winter.

In 1997, someone speared a pumpkin on the top of a 173-foot tower. It stuck around for months, an object of fascination and speculation. And no one knows who did it ... unless you know. Wait, do you?
