School Tradition
Dooley Week!!
Dooley week is a spontaneus tradition at Emory College. The Dooley skeleton is basically the biology lab skeleton who "comes to life'' to safeguard the official Spirit of Emory. He makes silly and wild appearances like on a painted motorcycle driving through a giant gate. The crazy week is said to have all started when dancing was finally permitted of campus, and the students would "dance around with Dooley.''
