MIT pranksters headed over to the neighboring campus of Harvard University and decorated Harvard Yard’s legendary statue of founder John Harvard to look like a Spartan warrior.

A caption in the MIT student newspaper, The Tech, explained the full prank: “The back of the helmet, which is worn by the protagonist of the [Halo] game, Master Chief, was labeled with ‘Master Chief in Training.’ The statue was decorated with an assault rifle (bullet count of 2E), as well as a Beaver emblem on the right shoulder.” (In case you didn’t know, MIT’s mascot is the beaver.)

What happened to the days of stealing the school mascot and spray painting it orange?
