Student_singers_march_down_the_stairs_in_Carolina_Rediviva_1877.jpg

Student singers marching down the staircase in the university library Carolina Rediviva , Uppsala , on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the university in 1877. The "staircase march" (trappmarschen) when the singers led the audience in a march out of the hall where the concert was held, is an annual tradition that was later moved to the new main university building completed in 1887.

The monumental staircase of Carolina was later sacrificed to create more storage space for books.
