ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
CoIlege-ered Flowers That Nestle In
Uncovered Wall Of University
Of Washington.

They are cof1ege-bred roses and their
nigh education seems to have had a
very elevating effect on their aspira-
lions. Students on the University Of
Washington campus recently noticed
on an UNCOVERED wall of Denny hall,
way up on level with the third floor
windows, spray Of coppery roses, the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer says. The
branch which bears them reaches out
from the heavy ivy vines and is the
only sign of rosebush in the neigh
borhood.
Some curiosity was aroused as to
whether the flower was grated on the
Ivy or whether it was rooted in the
wall. Neither supposition was found
to be correct. A number Of years ago
the rose blossomed modestly near the
ground. Then either the crowding of
the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired
BY the intellectual surroundings.

extend it's blossoms to the sun Just
outside of the windows used by the
public-speaking and Spanish depart
ments.
It's long, branchless stem is covered
by the Ivy and its top fiourishes in the
soft and musical sounds from the
Spanish room and the forceful oratory
from the public speakers.
