Seton Hall University GALLEON South Orange New Jersey THE ANGELUS BELL, a cherished piece of tradition, rests solidly on the lawn of the Quad rangle. A COMMENT ON THE CAMPUS A SENIOR MAKES A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF THE LANDSCAPE Of course, there are still some areas that need improvement, need it badly, but on the whole our campus has a nice appear- ance, a good balance of lawns, trees, and shrubbery. i The quadrangle is plain, even severe, but shouldn’t it be? For this is where the work gets done, the stuff gets learned, and a brisk business-like aspect is just right here. There’s a soothing equanimity about the tall oaks and maples out back of the chapel, where the shade blankets the grass, and the cool and quiet seduce the troubled mind. The rambling ivy belongs on the Administration Building where our beloved priests live. It would be out of place on the classroom buildings. Hand- somely edging the tennis courts, the forsythias would look ! I futile around the parking lot. The yellow is at home where it can contrast with a verdant lawn in the spring. The great trees that once lined the Avenue ought to be replaced with a thick row of long-needled pine. Wouldn’t the tract between the dorm and the road look admirable with a short, close-clipped grass to match the spacious main lawn? A marble fountain in the middle of that large circle in front of the Administration building would add some elegance to the place. These things will come, I know, and then the picture will be complete — a beautiful campus, my campus. 7
