| ARTICLES RELATED TO Davis | | | |  Davis: Encyclopedia II - MBTA accessibility - Center island stationsMost MBTA subway stations have side platforms but a few have island platforms. The latter make it easier for wheelchair passengers to reverse direction, either because they missed a stop, or because the elevator on one side of a station is out of service (a problem frequently noted on the MBTA's web site). Some of these stations are not accessible to wheelchair users wishing to leave or enter them, but nevertheless play a vital role in the handicapped accessibility of other stations, which may not (yet) have a compl ...

| | | | | Davis: Encyclopedia II - College town - Town-Gown relations As in the case of a company town, the large and transient population attracted to the university may come into conflict with longstanding natives. Students may come from outside the area, and thus represent a different—sometimes radically different—culture. Furthermore, students are concentrated in a small, young age group, whose living habits may not be agreeable in general to older members of society.

This movement seeks to call higher education back to its touchstones of acad ...
