Bricks

Bricks imprinted with "Wooster, Ohio" can be found all around the brick walkways on campus.

Bricks have been synonymous with The College of Wooster for nearly a century and have become a symbol for the school. The College has long been marked by brick pathways intersecting the different parts of campus. For years, the brick paths were made with bricks manufactured at the Wooster Brick Yards in town. These bricks were marked with the words "Wooster, Ohio." Since bricks are no longer made at the Wooster Brick Yards, these particular bricks have become more scarce as time has gone on, and in turn, are now collector's items to many Wooster loyalists.

Brick paths continue to thrive at Wooster, and in fact, are increasing in number. During the summer of 2001, Memorial Walk, which passes through the center of campus, was completely furnished with new bricks, as were two walkways on the south side of Kauke Hall. A brand new walkway was added that leads through the new College Mall to the Kauke Arch.
