* An earlier cutting of a walnut-tree is recorded in a lampoon on the 

 President by John Dobson, published Aug. 1663, and quoted in 

 "Bloxam's Register," Choristers, p. 75 : 



The tree which walnuts forth did shoot, 



Is voted down, both branch and root ; 



And where bowls ran, there turnips grow ; 



But from the beginning it was not so. 



The tree stood at the upper end of the Grove, and was cut down by the 

 Bursar without the knowledge of the President. It is not true that the 

 bowling-green was turned into a turnip-garden.
