How the story begins
This bridge is three hundred and sixty-four point four Oliver Smoots long, plus or minus one ear. In October of 1958, Tom O'Connor, a fraternity pledgemaster at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wanted to know how far he still had to walk on his way across. He picked the shortest new pledge as his ruler, five foot seven, because a short ruler made more work. That was Oliver Smoot.
The rest is in the app. Peplos plays the full story when you reach the place. You can also listen ahead of time.
