and the Land is Southern Southernls campus is one of which both students and the people of Carbondale are equally proud. It is no acci- dent that the beauties of Lake-on-the-Campus with its sunny beaches and scenic walks, Thompson Woods, broad grassy lawns and refreshing pools and fountains are so abundant on campus. These areas as well as the tasteful architecture are the result of careful planning by the university architect and many dollars spent in their creation. The giant rocks by the pond in front of the library were brought to campus from a field several miles south of town. Full grown trees are delivered by truck and planted with cranes and pulleys, and young saplings have been planted over several acres of the campus. The result of all this effort and expenditure is a pleasant and attractive environment in which to live and study. inn 711 g Y - Q, 0, ?-, . . ,, -.- ,gf 4 -. SN. --.. . . -Q-..- .. '- A. - x.. -.-N.
