The halfway point of the Boston Marathon is our campus, known as the Scream Tunnel because we line up along Central Street to offer our support for the runners, loudly. (In the image above, Lilly Armstrong ’20 and a bunch of friends are cheering Lilly’s dad, who came from Sydney, Australia, to run the marathon.) This is but one of the ways (others are the Head of the Charles and the Boston Pops) in which we join with the residents of Boston and Cambridge, including 250,000 other college students, in a communal, share-the-love sort of way.
