...movement for plank walks. The first issue of the Magenta, appearing on January 24, 1873, contained the following editorial: "We wish the College would lay plank walks in the yard: As we wade through our classic enclosure on the sloppy days of the January thaw, or, when the signal man at Washington turns the water into ice, as we gracefully measure our length in front of the University, we think of this.

Bets were up in all the native villages along the route; Governor-General Jules Carde had motored from Algiers.
