Janss Steps - University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - Outdoor Stairways on Waymarking.com

"The Janss Steps are the original 87-step entrance to the University. They were named for the Janss brothers who sold the land that UCLA is built on for about one-third of the going market rate. Leading up from Wilson Plaza to Dickson Court, the Janss Steps have long been a fixture on campus. Before Bruin Plaza became the student activities area, the Janss Steps were often used as an informal assembly area. Speakers at the Steps have included Senator Adlai Stevenson, President John F. Kennedy and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

A campus legend dating to the 1960s says that one of the Janss brothers is buried under the 6th tread, and that students should always avoid that step.
