A Boston clothing magnate left his fortune to give women a way to earn a living — and Simmons went on to create the world's first MBA designed for women.
A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Boston has a long-running one. Four stops over 0.7 miles, about 46 minutes of walking. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.
Of the 50 MassRoam tours in Boston, this is the campus one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
