The bent of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society on the Drill Field commemorates the founding of the MSU chapter in December, 1928. The official badge of the only engineering honor society representing the entire engineering profession, it is a watch key in the shape of the bent of a trestle, the load-bearing part of the bridge. It represents Tau Beta Pi's principles of Integrity and Excellence In Engineering.
