A ND flashback.

All aboard for South Bend and points beyond...

As Stedsmen used planes, trains, and automobiles to take their leave of campus for Spring Break, they may have used this in the past to get where they wanted to go. Thanks to Jack Kill, Sted's freshman, and his great grandfather's ND scrapbook, we have a view of student life in 1917 with its ND "jitney bus," pictured above. Ferrying students to and from campus and downtown South Bend, the jitney bus would have been something that students would have taken to catch that train to Poughkeepsie, Walla Walla, or even that last train to Clarksville!
