What a great quiz
That was a lovely walk down memory lane!
Now, 48 years after graduation, I get a 7/10 on Doors. It’s an improvement on my 1/10 on a Physics 112 quiz!
You still remember your physics quiz score? Amazing.
The Baker Lab doors appear to be designed for giants, not those of us who were struggling through Intro Chem.
I guess I should’ve gotten outta Statler more. Still fun.
See how many of these doors you can spot from the webcam on Statler roof… Enjoy the chimes
I did well enough on the doors to buildings that existed back in the 1980s; obviously, I need to go back and visit all the “new” buildings! (But I’d know “Annie” Hall and Myron Taylor Hall and the old Ag Quad doors anywhere!)
Excellent quiz – especially for a former architecture dept student!
The Baker Lab inscription is truly timeless – my favorite building on planet earth.
Fun game. Demonstrated that I need a tour of campus, it’s been too long! Never heard of some of those buildings.
10/10! Some doors I remembered, some were educated guess, some just blind luck. Similar to how I got through a few courses! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Great game! Enjoyed playing and seemingly enough, I recognized all these doors somewhere deep in my thoughts but I only got 6/10 probably because I just don’t remember matching doorframes to hall names ever, until having to just now
glad to know my memory still kicks into high gear during fun quizzes like this, super interesting.
As others have commented, a great walk down memory lane. The older doors wonderfully radiate great age, tradition, and wisdom. I got 3/10. But I’m delighted that some Cornellian brain cells are preserved.
