Slant Walk, an iconic pathway at Miami University, has been a central feature of the campus since its earliest days. Originally known as the Slanting Path, it evolved from a simple dirt track to its current paved form. The walk serves as a primary route connecting the heart of campus to Uptown Oxford. Over the years, it has seen various improvements, including sand surfacing, brick pavers, and cement. Notable features along its history include iron post gateways, the 1909 Centennial Gate, and the current Williamsburg-style Phi Delt Gates. As the campus expanded, so did Slant Walk, extending to include newer buildings like Alumni Library, Irvin Hall, Sesquicentennial Chapel, and Shriver Center.
