The arch on Hearn Plaza is a reproduction of a gift given by the Class of 1909 on the Old Campus. Each year, new students and graduating seniors will pass through the arch, signifying the beginning and ending of their respective undergraduate experiences.
Established by students in 1980 in memory of a great Wake Forest athlete/alumnus and Chicago Bear football star who died of cancer. Each year, through a variety of creative events, including "Hit the Bricks" and "Pump up for Piccolo." Students mobilize the campus community in raising awareness of and monies for cancer research and treatment at the WFU Comprehensive Cancer Center. Homecoming A week-long Wake Forest medley put on by a number of campus groups like Student Union, Traditions Council, Student Government, etc. Students and alumni alike attend events including parties, Homecoming Bonfire, and the recently revived Homecoming Parade. Lighting of the Quad An ecumenical holiday event held in December to celebrate the many religious traditions at Wake Forest. The community comes together for holiday songs, readings, and the lighting of a campus Christmas tree and holiday lights on the buildings surrounding the Quad.  Love Feast A communal celebration born in the early 1700s, this Moravian tradition is one of the most sensory-rich experiences of the Christmas season in Winston-Salem. The largest of its kind in the world is held in Wait Chapel, replete with coffee, sweet rolls, carols and candles.
It started on the new campus in the early 1960s to celebrate athletic victories. The Quad after a big win or major event is probably one of only a few places in the world that looks stunningly beautiful covered in toilet paper.
