Palm Walk

The Palm Walk is a pedestrian mall located on Arizona State University's Tempe campus that is lined with one hundred and five date trees.

The history of the palm walk dates to an early attempt at campus beautification by Tempe Normal School President Arthur John Matthews.

[1] The University Archives maintains a Web site that displays photos of Palm Walk from the 1930s, 1946, 1957, 1966, and the 1990s.

The site drew the ire of students due to the nature of the work, as pictures were taken of women without their knowledge or consent.

While the website's owners hid their identity through the nature of the web domain, they also stated that they respected the rights of the individuals posted, and would remove any photographs upon request.
