The roast, held this year on May 3, started in the 1980s as a lesson in primitive survival. The roast calls for students to skin a goat carcass with sharp-edged stones, the way our ancestors did in the Stone Age. The meat is then steeped overnight in a marinade of lime, curry, salt, pepper, fresh herbs (including thyme and oregano), and a bit of garlic. The following day, the meat is suspended on a spit over a bed of coals, and roasted until done.
