The beauty of the campus is a result of the cooper¬ ation of both faculty and students since the college was founded. Professor A. Jones during his life time devoted much effort in making the campus more attrac¬ tive and in his passing, the “mantle’’ has fallen on Professor Kershner, who has stimulated interest in Arbor Day ob¬ servance. On April 18, 1935 with “Sieb” as chairman, the routine of school work was laid aside and the student body was organized into groups under the leadership of the professors. Among those cooperating in this project were the classes and state clubs which planted trees and provided plants and moss for the rock garden. Dr. J. A. Huffman presented the theological department with evergreens, while Mr. Williams gave some beautiful spruce trees i ' or the east side of the campus and several trees for the rock garden. The bird sanctuary was greatly improved by the addition of shrubs and maple trees. Another important feature of the day was the hamburger stand which un¬ der the supervision of Miss Snyder proved a life-saver to the half-famished workers. The success of the day with its fun, frolic, and work merits its ob¬ servance until it too becomes a Marion College tradition. “What do we plant when we plant the tree? A thousand things that we daily see.” Page 18 ]
