The idea was to keep the half to the rear of the building as nearly as possible in the wild state-except the portions of it that were given up to tennis courts, and to the log cabin. Various trees were planted by the early graduating classes, and since this is the year of our 80th anniversary it will be well to mention that the row of Elms along Graham Avenue were all planted on a special day in April, l869, one year atter this college officially opened Since then, through care and consideration, our campus flora has had additions to it, as was the special Washington Elm which was dedicated to the World War ll heroes, This year we pause to celebrate the anniversary of statehood and this spring we honored our 80th anniversary. Along with this latter celebration, it is only fair we stand in appreciation of those silent trees which line school walks and really bespeak of the beauty of our campus. l3'l
