Description

Northwestern University, plaintiff in error, has over seventy-five acres of grounds enclosed by an iron fence erected by it. Public streets run along the south and west boundaries of its grounds, and, along the streets and outside of the fence, are public sidewalks. The university buildings are inside the fenced grounds, and access is obtained through gates at different points along the several streets. Defendant in error, Axel Anderson, an employee of Northwestern University, was a gatekeeper, and during his working hours from 7:45 A.M. until 3:45 P.M. his station was in a small shanty inside the grounds, on a drive which went north to the powerhouse from the street along the south side of the grounds. Anderson was required to punch a clock each day he was employed, at the powerhouse, which was a short distance north from the shanty. As Anderson entered upon and departed from his work it was his custom to enter the grounds at a gate on the west side of the enclosure, the same opening off of the north and south side street, and cut across the university grounds several hundred feet to the powerhouse, in order to punch the clock. On the day of the accident, January 24, 1949, he arrived at the street outside the grounds, about 7:25 in the morning, and instead of entering the west gate and cutting across the grounds he elected to go along the sidewalk on the south side of the grounds to the gate where his shanty was located. The sidewalk was covered with water and ice, so he attempted to walk upon a narrow strip of ground between the edge of the sidewalk and the iron fence, and while so doing he slipped and fell into the fence, and suffered a severe injury. There was no requirement upon the part of the employer as to his manner of reaching his place of work, other than he should start work at 7:45 in the morning, and work until 3:45 P.M. No part of his work was to be performed in the public street.
