McCosh Walk

McCosh Walk was named for President James McCosh, who enjoyed strolling there in days when it extended only from Prospect Gate to Washington Road. It grew longer as the Campus expanded, eventually describing an east-west axis from Lockhart Hall on University Place through the gateway north of Little Hall to the steps at Washington Road opposite the Woodrow Wilson School Plaza. A latter-day extension of the walk continues along the south side of Frick and the rear of the University Press, past the Mudd Manuscript Library, to the Engineering Quadrangle.
