= Revival and End of Tradition = The Cane Rush, also known as the βGrease Rush,β was a tradition for many years until World War II. The tradition was not continued during this time and students lost excitement for the event. It was briefly resurrected in 1949 for a few years but was officially discontinued in 1959. Students lost interest in the event, even one year with no freshmen showing up, so the sophomores won by default. The lack of student participation and excitement was the main reason for the end of this RPI tradition.
