Cornell has suffered 6 suicides this year, resulting first in 24 hour
guards on the 8 high bridges, and today I saw Cornell's more
permanent (but, unfortunately, VERY UGLY) solution - 10' high
chain-link fences with even higher wires tilting inward at the tops,
all running along the sides of the bridges and also the adjacent land.
Gone is the beauty of the stone and steel bridges, and of the great
uninterrupted views from them of very beautiful scenery.
