Brisk walk back from Bascom Friday night sensory explosion Nostrils tight canvases To this olfactory emulsion And it isn’t hard to play sleuth When your phone’s run out of juice And you don’t feel like making eye contact Though everyone else is lit up and loose You’d rather smell the 50 shades of Tide And chortle with delight, That Madison is made up Of well-laundered smokers As you shake the woolite out 2/17/17

The Hill

Today, we thought we’d dig up some advice on how to traverse up that most noblest of hills on our campus with some wise words from the Wiscetiquette series, beginning with this 1943 take.

Your college life at Wisconsin begins and ends with the Hill, leading to historic Bascom Hall at a steep enough angle to develop you into a coed commando.
It goes on to warn that it takes practice to make it up in three minutes flat so plan your schedule accordingly!
1947′s version has a similar warning about building in extra time.

And a little practical advice from 1938.

Don’t Rush Things. In getting up and down the Hill, the best method is keep the same pace as the rest of the people on the hill. Don’t take your own time when the walks are crowded, and don’t go leaping along endangering the life and limb of everyone in your path unless you can dodge in and out skillfully enough to avoid accidents.
To the Hill!

This January 5, 1961 student paper photo and caption seemed appropriate after our earlier Bascom Hill post and for Madison’s icy weather lately.
These students took the easy way down Bascom Hill, after deciding that walking wasn’t nearly as much fun. Tuesday students weren’t so fortunate and slid down the hill more informally.
