may 3, 1917 - First pedestrian tunnel opened between Gridley and Nourse
Description:
The new corridor was promptly used for the hazing of first-year women:
"Here they were marched through a mess of molasses, salt, popcorn, and everything miserable, and made to eat unthinkable concoctions. After this the thoroughly subjected freshies promised to love, honor and obey everything that their elders might ever do, say, or think to say" (Carletonian Mar. 29, 1922).
