VI. The central campus has the constant attention of a care- 
taker, and for the greater part is carefully mowed as often as 
once a week. This practice has reduced the number of forms 
to only those which are naturally low or can adjust themselves 
to these conditions. Here we find principally: 
Agrostis alba 
Cerastium vulgatum 
Plantago lanceolatus 
Plantago major 
Poa pratensis 
Prunella vulgaris 
Stellaria media 
Taraxacum officinale 
Veronica arvensis 
Veronica serpyllifolia 
In this area also have been planted such shrubs and trees as 
Acer rubrum Crataegus Crus-galli 
Acer saccharum Ulmus americana 
Aralia spinosa Ulmus fulva 
Artificial grouping has been carried out around all the build- 
ings and at the principal entrances. The accompanying views 
of the east entrance show the masses of Kerria, Rosa, Rhodo- 
typos, Forsythia and Symphoricarpos. 
Around the buildings are found a number of species of Deut- 
zia, and Spirea, as well as Berberis, Forsythia, Kerria, Lonicera, 
Philadelphus, Symphoricarpos. These introduced species are 
bunched and so selected that there are some of them in flower 
from the opening of the Forsythia in April through the roses 
in the summer and leaving the attractive white berries of 
Symphorocarpos in the fall. 
FLORA 
In making the study of the flora of the campus, the writer 
found it necessary to start from the beginning as there was 
absolutely no record of any plants of this particular region. 
No effort has been made to make a complete collection of 
the various forms found, but when any were found which the 
herbarium of the University did not contain, they were added 
to it.
