History of the Steak Fry

According to The Collegio on October 13, 1976, the Annual All-Faculty Steak Fry began in the early 1940s. Prior to 1977, the Steak Fry was organized by the Faculty Men's Picnic Committee. The committee also organized the Trout Bake, a picnic for the men faculty on campus and a summer faculty men's picnic. The Trout Bake was named after Dean G. W. Trout who began the picnic tradition for the men in 1921. In fall 1976, the Faculty Men's Picnic Committee asked the Faculty Association to take over the planning of the Annual Steak Fry the next year.
