All these different kinds of climates with their cor- responding different varieties of plant and animal life appear in this photo of Mount Graham, whose summit is only 12 miles-airline-from the College. Practically every day of the year EAC students can get out in comfort into this desert-mountain setting, that begins at the boundary of the Campus.
