Ohio State Students Bid Adieu to Campus Legend Afroduck with Mirror Lake Candlelight Vigil

Last Wednesday afternoon, the Ohio State community was struck with crippling news — campus legend Afroduck was dead.

After a grief-stricken weekend, Ohio State students gathered around Mirror Lake on Monday night to officially say goodbye to their fuzzy headed friend with a candlelight vigil.
