About this walk

Created in 1974 to train the doctoral-level psychologists Massachusetts urgently lacked, this Newton school later took the name of American psychology's founding figure.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Newton has a long-running one. Five stops over 4.4 miles, about two hours of walking. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.

It is one of four tours in Newton, each taking a different line through the city. Nothing is booked and nothing expires, so you can start it on a whim and finish it whenever you like.
