Trip Report

We met in front of the library for our two hour walk through the empty campus—except for busy maintenance crews. Kay mapped our route to include the tower and glass etchings at Haywood Field, the Oregon Grape sculpture at the Jane Sanders Stadium, and the mural in progress on the Student Tennis Center. Thanks to everyone who contributed, asked questions, and decided that our last stop should not be the Pioneer Cemetery. Kay then quickly led us to the House of Phineas Gage in the courtyard at Straub Hall.
