Scholars' Scholars Walk

I'm happy to report that the University of Minnesota made the right decision in dropping the apostrophe for its Scholars Walk. It both follows the U's building-naming style guide and avoids the implication that the walk is only for scholars. The apostrophe lovers may be technically correct, but as an editor (and clever fool) I like the extra meaning attached to the absence of the apostrophe. There's nothing there but a story.

However you punctuate it, it can't be denied that the Scholars(') Walk is a handy way for Rachel to haul her ass from Johnston to the Rec Center. Thanks, Scholars(') Walk!
