THE SUMMER SCHOOL OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AT 
LAKE FOREST 
Through the efforts of members of the Garden Club of Illinois, 
and with the co-operation of Lake Forest University, the first Summer 
School of Landscape Architecture was conducted at Lake Forest from 
June 26 to August 5, 1916. The members of the Garden Club 
undertook to guarantee the success of the school, and the College 
placed the buildings at the disposal of the classes. Professor Ralph 
Rodney Root, head of the Division of Landscape Gardening of the 
University of Illinois, was in charge of the school, and was assisted 
by Messrs. N. P. Hollister and W. A. Strong. 
Three courses were offered: (1) History of Gardens; (2) Design; 
(3) Plants and Planting. The work consisted of hour lectures, sup- 
plemented by field trips to the estates of Lake Forest and Winnetka, 
which furnished excellent practical illustrations of the points brought 
out in the lectures. Residents of Lake Forest contributed greatly to 
the success of these field trips by generously opening their grounds to 
the classes. 
The regularity of attendance of those who registered, and the 
number of registrations (about seventy), were a sufficient indication 
of the interest taken in the work. A large number of those registered 
were students in professional landscape courses in other colleges, and
