President Bruske makes suggestion
+, which, if, earned out, would add vastly
to the appearance, not of the college

that every citizen of Alma donate Il tree
to be set ont on the campus, the object
being to have every specie of tree in
Michigan on the campus On Arbol
Day let appropriate exercises be- held on
the campus, in which our citizens gen.
orally shall participate. The first cost
of the trees and setting them out would
be exceedingly small. and the expens,
of caring for them the first two years SC
slight as to be hardly worth mentioning
The suggestion is a good one, and We
hope it will be favorably acted upon.
