grouping for a background for the campus.' This was based upon Mr. Piatt's recommendation and was adopted by the Board, but we have made no progress in carrying out the recommendation except that the division of Landscape Architecture has made one or two studies of the project. As a part of the planting of the horticultural 320 acres, about ten acres in the northwest corner was laid out as an arboretum. The advisability of this planting was one of the problems which a committee, consisting of Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Husey, and Mr. Abbott, was appointed on October 20,1922, to consider, but I don't think that committee ever made any report on that project. That area has not as yet been planted, so the question of the arboretum is still one which should be considered by the new committee. The problem of campus lighting is one which may more properly be classed with the landscaping than with any other phase of the architectural development, and I think that this question, as well as that of the type of pavements which we are to use, should be included in their deliberations.
