About this walk

A university born in 1948 to welcome those others turned away, still centered on three chapels arranged so none casts a shadow on the others.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Waltham has a long-running one. Four stops over 0.3 miles, about 37 minutes of walking. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.

It is one of two tours in Waltham, 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.
