## Caption

The Adirondack chairs that dot Trinity’s landscape have become a campus staple, providing welcome relaxation for students sunbathing by Miller Fountain, reading under the trees, or procrastinating from their studies.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
The chairs were planted on campus in the spring of 2012, stemming from a partnership between the Urban Studs (the urban studies club) and Facilities Services. The project kicked off with just ten chairs, but more were quickly purchased and placed around campus, to meet demand.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
They’ve even been part of other traditions on campus. Fraternity and sorority members camped out at the Magic Stones in 2013, competing with each other to see which organization could remain touching the sculpture for the longest time. In addition to radios, tents, and sleeping bags, some students ingeniously brought over the Adirondack chairs to make their stays more comfortable. Despite concerns that students would end up stealing the chairs, each made its way back to their original locations after the contest ended.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
