This week at Rose Cafe Dr.Blalock took us through the tunnel that connects Becker to Rose (there is also one from Keeton to Bethe). We also visited the war memorial room in Lyon Hall. We also learned about Cornell history. One interesting topic that came up was you can get into the tunnels using the elevator but good luck getting out. You can’t call the elevator from the basement apparently which means you have to navigate the tunnels like a rat in a maze to find the exit… except instead of following the scent of cheese you can follow the exit signs. Something interesting I learned about was the Quill and Dagger society which is a secret society that has a room at the top of lyon hall that is only accesible through a secret elevator. I thought it was cool to learn more about Cornell history and the history of West Campus.  I also learned the the reason we have the gates that block gothics way to vehicles is because of Dr.Blalock. So while we aren’t going to get hit by cars you also can’t have the pizza guy drive up to your dorm.
