With spring (finally!) on the horizon, we offer a look at Cornellians navigating\u2014and even enjoying\u2014the recent chilly season<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting around campus during the Hill’s earliest days could be arduous for students and faculty alike. In the 1905 book Cornell University: A History<\/em>, one chemistry prof recalled how getting to his Morrill Hall classroom was an exercise in outdoor adventuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It required, he said, descending partway into Cascadilla Gorge, where a muddy path crossed a wooden bridge, climbed through an apple orchard, and crossed a cow pasture cut by a deep ravine. The route became even less passible in winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen snow, slush, and mud alternated with each other, even a professor sometimes forgot his dignity and slid down the bank, and by inadvertence not always all the way down on his feet either,” he recalled. “The hearty sympathy bestowed upon such an unfortunate by student spectators can be imagined, if not believed in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, thanks to the University\u2019s dedicated facilities and grounds crews<\/a>, getting to class is far more pleasant. But the picturesque beauty of the season remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
