"Lovers' Lane" was a tree-lined
path in the John Dickinson campus at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania that provided a direct route from the
main campus entrance at the corner of College and High Streets to East
College. The path apparently was the favorite spot of many a college
student, a place to while away the hours with friends or perhaps even with
young ladies, possibly giving rise to the name. The path seems
to have fallen out of favor with the student population, however, after the First
World War.
The re-landscaping of the quadrangle in 1929 and the removal
of many of the trees in that area of the campus have effectively erased
any trace of the once-infamous "Lovers' Lane."
