2 traditions to check off
Stamped! keeps these as a checklist, so you can tick each one off on the visit.
Senior Walk
The campus sidewalks carry the names of the university's graduates, class by class, going back to 1876. Start near Old Main and look down to read the names.
Spoofer's Stone
This limestone rock near Old Main dates from a time when men and women students were not allowed to mingle, and they left love notes in its cracks. It is now a popular spot for marriage proposals.
