The Beer Garden is a valuable Hopkins tradition
This past Sunday I took a break from working on my problem set at the library to attend the Spring Fair Beer Garden for the last time before I graduate. Unfortunately, as it stands currently, this could be the last time the Beer Garden appears at Spring Fair. The administration sees the Beer Garden as a sore point in its policy to tackle binge drinking on campus. To remedy this, the administration may decide to remove the Beer Garden from future Spring Fairs. This line of thinking is flawed. Removing the Beer Garden will do nothing to address binge drinking on campus. Meanwhile, doing so destroys an integral part of Spring Fair, resulting in significant harm to the Hopkins undergraduate experience.
