Historical Sketch As we stand in the wind upon our hilltop, breathing invigorating breaths of the salty air and watching the clear, broad river as it widens into the shining sound, we feel the thrill of past lives and old places. From the grey shaft of the Groton monument on the slope across the river to the clustered city of New London below us, the landscape is filled with storied history. The spirit of our sturdy revolutionary fathers pervades both towns which line the harbor, manifesting itself in cherished old forts and relics. The picturesque whaling masters once sailed the calm sail-dotted harbor and Captain Kidd himself steered his riotous crew to our shores to bury gold. Nor do we have to look far to find such memories of the past, for our very campus is full of them. On a slope near the river is a group of grey stones marking the old burying-ground of that vigorous and picturesque group of dissenters, the Rogereenes. Upon the Norwich road, which cuts our campus, a procession of characters, from Uncas, the chief and white man's friend, to Nathan Hale and Benedict Arnold, have left their marks in a wealth of story and legend. : We get our pleasing thrills of horror, too, for we may walk just down the hill to a narrow, wooded road and pass the spot where a storied gallows stood. Turning off from Gallows Lane, we reach the place which, with- out the glamour of old-time events, is uniquely charming. There are the familiar winding trails of Bolleswood. There is the Precipice, a high, pine-crowned cliff in the heart of the little woods. High above our heads tower the silent pines, and below us, way down below the tree-tops, a little brook moves sluggishly through the mould of fallen leaves. If we climb down the cliff, we may come upon an oven-bird's nest hidden close beneath the tree roots, a shining marsh marigold, a bending lady's slipper,always some bit of the wood's delicate treasure. If a woods of grey rocks and dark pines, running water and slender birches seems completely perfect, yet the association of Indian romance is another charm and we love to look up the Precipice and think of the leap of the beautiful Weeta into the con- cealing branches of the juniper trees. A great beauty of landscape and a romantic association with times that have passed are the ideal combination which Connecticut College posseses. Thirteen
