Who Knew WashU? 2.7.17

Question: This month marks 54 years since which milestone in Washington University history?

Answer: B) In February 1963, the last streetcar to campus stopped running, marking the end of the university as a “streetcar campus.” Today, students use the MetroLink light-rail system to reach spots around town.

Congrats to this week’s winner, Kristin Pfeifauf, a law alumna and predoctoral trainee at the School of Medicine, who will receive an “I Knew WashU” luggage tag!
