' Neath trees of majestic height and grace, We have wiled away happy hours. The highway beyond the lawns with their century-old trees hums with activity while upon this campus away from the noise of the streets live students in a veritable world of their own. One season gives way to another, and so it is with the years, yet the only change in the hearts of those who know these grounds intimately is the thought that the campus grows more and more beautiful. Never to be forgotten are the smooth lawns, brilliantly green under summer ' s heat, crisply white with winter ' s frost. ' Neath the whispering and the rustling oak and linden trees which line the Presidential Walk leading to stately Whitney House, sunshine and shadow have mingled. Brilliant days change into starry nights. Winding paths lead to the turfed natural amphitheatre and to the tennis courts clustered among tall oak trees. Tucked away are many secluded nooks offering solitude and inviting meditation at nightfall — to dream, to speak idle words, to hope. In the spring, bright, well-cared-for gardens of yellow daffodils, laven- der iris, and red tulips enhance the beauty of the campus. Lovely pink laurel blossoms in the spring near the dormitory bearing its name. The beauties of nature manifested at each season of the year cannot be surpassed — the change in the spring from yellow to pink and to the final summer dress of brilliant green, the change in the fall from multi-colored hues to the subsequent white of winter. Throughout the years, foot- steps tread the winding paths, climb the steps of the Colonial buildings. These very footsteps may fall in distant climes, but never will they find greater satisfaction and pleasure than is inspired by our campus.
