Why Campus Walks Are Built So

WHY CAMPUS WALKS ARE BUILT SO

STUDENTS DO NOT WALK WHEN EXPECTED TO

Hence Walks Are Built Wherever They Have Cut Paths-Several New Ones This Year

Several new walks have been laid on the University campus during the summer that call to mind the wisdom of those in authority at the institution. Long ago it was discovered that the erection of a new building did not necessarily mean that walks were to be used from it to the main walks, nor than walks leading to the street in a direct and natural line were to serve as thoroughfares. The fact was discovered after several useless walks were erected that students did not follow footpaths laid out for them any more than they followed lines of instruction laid down for them by their professors, provided they did not conform to the fancy of the majority. In consequence of this fact the sod in all parts of the campus became worn where the students decided by a natural law that they would walk. In time it became necessary to put a walk over the destroyed green for looks sake, and then it was that the officials of the University saw that the students were bound to make the paths anyway and so decided to let them make them in all cases and then erect a walk to suit their convenience,
