PETIT JEAN The Campus Beautiful [[]O the students of Harding College who go out into the wor ld there • will always remain a memory of their college days. There will forever abide in their hearts a love for their Alma Mater, created through joys and disappointments, successes and failures, and all the dear memories of t he sweet, unforgotten t hings. Possibly in after years, even more dear than the memory of some whitehaired professor, more precious than the friendships of old classmates, more beloved than the love of every classroom and every hall, will be the memory of the co llege campus; for t rul y a college is not so often remembered by its beautiful buildings, approved cur ri culum, as it is by its campus. Trees, grass, and shrubberi es should be planted on the campus of Harding Co ll ege. Our campus should not be thought of as a treeless, grass less stretch of barren earth, but as a place of vivid, living, growing things. Tn order that it may not be remembered thus, let us begin now to beautify the campus of our college, in the foothills of the Ozarks, in the "land of a million smiles." Let us make it a smi ling place of t rees and flowers and shrubberies, a place that wi ll be fraught with memories for every student, a campus in which every winding walk , in which every shifting spot of sun li ght shining through the trees, in which the fragrance of every flower, touches some heartstring and plays upon the chimes of memory. l.etus make the campus of our Alma Mater so beautiful that it will be remembered with love and pleasure, like an old, ve ry dear letter laid away in lavender and rosemary.
