Author Description

Excerpt from Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 78: March, 1978 By Tuesday night, the storm having finally abated, those who could trample through the waist-high snow or who had cross-country skis for the next week the most popular, and effective, form of transportation began to emerge. (some had ventured out ear lier, as the photo of several intrepid stu dents playing football on the Green shows.) Students quickly roused them selves and began a massive shoveling effort. The first task was to find shovels; they rummaged through dorm base ments, and Physical Plant bought out the last of a nearby hardware store's supply. The students literally shoveled out the entire University sidewalks, doorways, and fuel inlets for the cam pus's 156 buildings, thus clearing a path for critical oil deliveries long before city plows and federal government bull dozers reached the East Side.
