Did You Know?
On March 2, 1938, Scripps students experienced a flood of historical proportions, causing significant damage to Grace Scripps Clark and Toll Halls. Residents took refuge in Browning and Dorsey Halls, which were unaffected. Soon after, the famous floodwalls were constructed to prevent further water damage. Photo credit: Scripps archives.
