Trees on campus

Jason Dauehhauer from Social Work stopped by, he is involved with a lot of local/college history efforts, and is part of the planning for the renovations at Alumni House. They are cutting some trees down, and then going to have them milled into planks. He wanted to know if I had any information on the trees in between Alumni House and Hartwell.


I found some documents, including an 1894 Brockport Republic piece that mentioned a number of trees being planted on campus by a local landscaper, and another by Dobson from 1954 reminiscing about the trees around campus pre WWII. Some older aerial shots were of interest too.
