Not all the beautiful trees on
the Campus have 'just growed" there
many of them have been planted BY
different persons. When the Univer-
sity was destroyed by fire in 1892 most
of the trees were killed, and members
of the faculty, trying to improve the
grounds for the University, planted
many of the trees still found on the
Campus.
The buckeye tree south of the Law
Building was planted by Judge ]. D.
Lawson, former dean of the School
of Law, who took great interest and
pride in the tree 1t was Just south
of his Office window, and he always
spoke of it as his tree.
Prof. ]. c. Whitten, during the time
he was in charge of the University
grounds, planted a row of Lombardy
poplars from Conley avenue to the
Mechanic Arts Building. The path
that they shadow has been called
Whitten's Walk. Many of these trees
were killed about two years ago by the
gas and steam from the power house.
An attempt has been made to replace
them. but the new trees, too, may be
asphyxiated.

PRO-GERMANS CONVERTED
WHEN THE FACTS ARE TOLD

Prof. Max. F. Meyer of the psy
ehOlOgy department of the University
on his recent lecture trip through tht
southeastern part of Wisconsin, found
very little real disloyalty to the
United States on the part of the people
of German descent in comparison
with the large population of that race
in America
Professor Meyer made about ten
lectures in one week, his audiences
ranging from thirty persons to more
than 1000 Outside of Madison his
audiences were largely people speak
ing German altogether among them
selves, and he found that their lack
of enthusiasm was due TO the fact
that their feelings had been hurt by
injudicious talking.
Professor Meyer in his lectures told
what modern Germany is, the ideas
that the German government unholds.
and what the people would have to
expect if the German government sue
ceeded in extending its power to this
country. He made clear what the
United States is fighting for. 1t is
the belief of Professor Meyer that the
chief cause of prO-German sentiment
in America is failure to understand
what the German rule means. All that
some people know about Germany is
through some tale heard or read, and if
one can only make clear what the
German government is. they do not |
want it, From earliest childhood !,
many people of German blood have
spoken the German language and are !
attached to the very word Germany"
They believe that it must mean
something good, and now for Ameri-
ca to go to war with Germany-well.
they don't know what to make of it.
According to Professor Meyer. in
formation is what they need. He
found that only a very few people
would like to see the German govern
ment come over and take this coun-
try. These few were usually men who
had been educated in German univer-
sites and who believed that if Ger
many were in power over here they
would have more exalted positions.
Professor Meyer says in almost every
such case the motive is purely self
ish
Loyal Americans Found.
Some very loyal Americans were
by Professor Meyer at |

,alled of their own accord and was |
opened by the singing of all four !
