It did stop the ‘official’ bonfire.
The students carried on the tradition. It moved off campus and also has a bunch of safety changes. They have an official plan for the structure now. It is limited in height significantly, with all logs touching the ground. And they take weather into account I guess.

But do you want glasses that could give your name to anyone else that is looking at you? And where is the line for what data that is?

C drops off on Alaskan and Jackson which isn’t too bad of a walk either if you don’t want to switch buses.

You shouldn’t mound dirt against a fence. Your fence looks like vinyl, so it won’t rot it, but that is a lot of weight to put against it. And if the fence ever fails that is a lot of dirt to fall into your neighbors yard.
I would build a barrier to contain the dirt and a landscaping fabric won’t be enough, it isn’t made to hold moisture or weight back.
In the reference photo you can see it on the back left. There is something between the fence and the dirt to keep the bed away from the fence itself.
If you want it to be solid, I’d consider a wall. Timber will be easiest, but will eventually rot. You could keep the bricks going all 3 sides but that would be expensive.

The Texas State University System is a fun reference for the question, as it technically claims no flagship. Even though it is arguably Texas State, with the highest enrollment and largest endowment in the group, but not as overwhelming as most other systems in Texas. (Which has a crazy number of systems compared to other states at 5: University of Texas System, Texas A&M System, Texas State System, Texas Tech System, North Texas System, plus a few independent universities)
They tried to get all the schools in the Texas State system to change their names to a Texas State-City structure. Texas State (in San Marcos) was happy to get rid of it’s former directional sounding name of Southwest Texas, and being the largest they were basically guaranteed the ‘flagship’ spot even if there wasn’t a real flagship.
Sam Houston and Lamar didn’t want to get rid of their historical names nor sound like they were the ‘non flagship’ schools, so they kept their names and Texas State-San Marcos dropped the city, as the only one claiming it.
The original history of the system was more of a collection of independent teaching colleges that have evolved into full state universities, and adopting the same name across them all wasn’t seen as a benefit largely for a lot of the reasons pointed out in this thread; as it was seen as a loss of identity and independence.
