FitzRandolph Gate

The iron gate on Nassau Street, 1905, named for the family that gave the land. Closed for most of its life; the class of 1970 asked for it to be opened permanently, and it has been. Students avoid walking out through it before they graduate.

Guide's tip. Free. This is the front door; the campus has no fence anywhere else.
