Over the past month, every time I have been walking on the quad, I have noticed in some ways the pathways act like rivers. Students of the college walk both ways along these paths in order to reach a certain destination, much like shad do on the Delaware. These pathways also run both ways like the Nile River and the Hudson River. It is also not uncommon for these pathways to diverge and split off into two paths, and sometimes three. It’s always interesting to see on certain days how the weather affects the activity of these “rivers” on campus much like the weather may affect the activity of actual rivers elsewhere. 
Very interesting Henry, I never thought of the campus as this.
This is a very cool way of looking at campus, and it changed my perspective! I think it’s interesting to see how even if we don’t use rivers as much as we did in the past, we still mimic their behavior in much of what we do today.
