Summer Scbool of Xanfcscape architecture 
at Xafce forest College 
A course of lectures and demonstrations in Landscape Architec- 
ture will be offered at Lake Forest College from the 26th of June to 
the 5th of August, 1916. The summer school will be under the direc- 
tion of Professor R. R. Root, who is in charge of the professional 
course in Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois, assisted 
by Mr. N. P. Hollister. The course is planned to be of special value 
to students in professional schools, to landscape architects, to owners of 
private estates, and to others interested in gardening and out-of-door 
life. 
The summer school in Landscape Architecture has been made 
possible through the interest of the Garden Club of Illinois, and by 
the co-operation of the trustees of Lake Forest University and the Uni- 
versity of Illinois. Mrs. Byron L. Smith has offered the excellent ar- 
boretum on her Lake Forest estate as a laboratory for the course in 
plant study. The plant collection here is unique in the variety and 
arrangement of hardy trees and shrubs, both deciduous and evergreen. 
Lake Forest, the "North Shore" and Chicago offer unexcelled oppor- 
tunities for a study of landscape design as illustrated in private estates, 
gardens, and public grounds. Special reference will be made to these 
examples in the lectures, which will be supplemented by frequent excur- 
sions to study them on the ground. 
Correspondence should be addressed to President John S. Nollen, 
Lake Forest, Illinois, or to Professor Ralph R. Root, Urbana, Illinois.
