Chancellor Makes a Splash at Lady Eaton College Carnival

“Douse the Chancellor” Event Provides Buckets of Fun While Benefiting LEC

Trent University Chancellor Stephen Stohn ’66 showed his Trent spirit by participating in a special “Douse the Chancellor” event at the Lady Eaton College Carnival.

Students were given the opportunity to soak the Chancellor, as well as other University dignitaries, by hitting targets with baseballs. Dr. Stohn and his partner, Linda Schuyler, pledged $500 to the LEC fund, increasing the amount by $25 with each unsuccessful contestant.

By the time second year student Sophia Frasca took her turn, the tally had risen to $725.

“All you have to do is the easiest thing in the world…” announced Dr. Stohn before Ms. Frasca stepped up to the line. “Soak the Chancellor!”

And with her final throw, the Peter Gzowski College student did just that, releasing a bucket of icy water onto the good-natured Chancellor, and drawing cheers from her fellow students.

A dripping Dr. Stohn congratulated Ms. Frasca by announcing the donation in her name.
