LWU: New student takes a well-traveled road to Columbia Landon Wagner and parents drive part of historic Route 66 to reach the campus of Lindsey Wilson University. By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University student Landon Wagner not only took the scenic route to arrive this month on campus, but he and his parents also took a historic one. Wagner, who is a junior transfer student from California, drove to Lindsey Wilson on part of Route 66, the famous American highway that turns 100 years old later this year. The 2,448-mile highway that stretches from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, was once known as the Main Street of America, and it was one of the original highways in the U.S. Numbered Highway System. Route 66 has been immortalized in American culture by popular songs and in literature by John Steinbeck and Jack Kerouac -- and in mid-August it was how Wagner and his parents traveled much of the way to reach Lindsey Wilson. Wagner transferred to Lindsey Wilson from Pierce College in Los Angeles, where he played on the baseball team. Wagner expects to play first base and designated hitter for the Blue Raiders, while majoring in business administration.
