I find myself quite pressed for time tonight, but I do have something cool that I found unexpectedly this afternoon. This was the centerpiece of a full page newspaper spread published in the early spring of 1941–the reporter followed a Rice co-ed through her day on campus.

This is baffling to me. Why is there a turnstile in the middle of campus? Really, sometimes I just have to stop in wonderment.
Also, do you think this is the same walkway? It’s obviously much earlier (note the top of the campanile) but it sort of looks the same.
An aside: I was very touched by all the emails I got about Eddie Wojecki. I’ll have another post about him tomorrow.
