🚶 Did you know the University of Rochester's iconic River Campus tunnels were almost never expected to become... well, iconic?
This January 1928 photo captures the cross-quad tunnel under construction. But during planning for the new campus in 1927, committee member Joseph Alling wasn't convinced students would use them:
"Mr. Alling feels that they will be used but very little by students, who in his opinion would prefer to cross the main quadrangle rather than go downstairs and walk through tunnels."
Nearly 100 years later, we'd say that prediction didn't quite pan out. Turns out, generations of students, faculty, and staff have had other plans.
Swipe to see the tunnels then—and now. 📸
