At Stanford, tour guides walk backward while leading visitors around campus.
According to Visitor Information Services’ recent newsletter, some 9,276 people participated in campus tours during the six-week period in spring that generally covers all high school breaks.
The newsletter is aptly called “Backwards Walk, Straight Talk,” which refers to the long-time Stanford tradition of tour guides walking backward while leading visitors around campus.
Here are some of the other numbers from the spring high school break period:
Hoover Tower visitors: 4,999
Visiting school groups: 51
Number of tours provided: 207
