I want my MTV

This month in history (131 and 133 years ago)

During the 1880s the celebration of Halloween included vandalism. In 1881 some junior medical students smashed street lamps and were fined $150. In 1883 the walks were torn up again, business signs were removed and lost to the rightful owners, and a statue of Benjamin Franklin that adorned the campus was covered with fresh paint.
