The baseball dia– mond lies on its southern edge and just west of the Dining Hall. The Girls' Dor11litory is situated within a few feet of its north– ern bo11ndary. The southeast comer of the campus is richly wooded with deciduous trees: maples, a buckeye, a linden, and evergreens. The drive is lined with maples and the formal walk bordered with arbor vitae; a group of spruce trees stands before the Science Hall and in the open meadow to the west. Solitary maples, ash, and elm here and there spread wide branches in full sun. These trees, the chief beauty of the campus, were the gift of the late Whitelaw Reid, an American journalist and diplo– mat of the nineteenth century.
