The Quad - Bounded by West, Church, Garrison, and College Streets
Originally these spacious lawns of the University campus were the original New Jerusalem town common. Straight, even sidewalks connect all major campus buildings, and the grounds are also well appointed with shade trees and benches. In good weather, the quad is often full of students and townsfolk strolling, studying, or enjoying a picnic. Warm weather or a full moon draws out nocturnal strollers. Despite the Administration’s disapproval of the practice, unorthodox professors sometimes hold class on the green when the day’s heat and humidity become extreme. Such outdoor meetings are far less common than most students would prefer. Following the return of the First Missituk Antarctic Expedition in 1931, a monument was raised in the center of the quad to honor the University’s fallen.
