*Τhe Baker House Piano Drop is a celebration of the student spirit, where a (non-functioning) piano is dropped six stories from the roof of Baker House to the ground below. Originally, the target was Amherst Alley, but after Amherst Alley was moved, the target for the airborne piano is now on the Memorial Drive side of the dorm, in the grassy area between the building and the road. Although allegedly timed to coincide with "drop date", the Baker House Piano Drop is actually a combination of dorm spirit, harmless destructiveness, and the willingness to do something difficult just for the sake of doing it.
