"No. 49 TREES TO SERVE AS MEMORIALS MAIN DRIVEWAY WILL BE SHAD- ED BY PECANS NAMED FOR FALLEN HEROES EACH WILL BE LABELED Individual Trees Will be Set Out ‘Along Road From Front Gate to Military Walk for Men Who Sacrificed Lives Acting upon the suggestion’ of Dr. Mark Francis, N. M. McGinnis, Col- lege Alumni Secretary, has decided to proceed with a plan for the setting out of a pecan tree along the roadway leading from the front gate of they Campus to Military Walk in memory of each of the thirty-eight A. and M. men who gave up their lives in the world war. Will Transplant Grown Trees "In order that the trees may afford shade and fruit at the earliest possible date, Mr. McGinnis contemplatesmak- ing an arrangement with an up-to- date firm for the transplanting of trees of considerable size. All shade trees along that driveway now will be supplanted. by the pecans and it is believed there is just about enough space on the two sides of the driveway to permit the setting out. of about forty trees at the proper dis- tance. - Exercise Planned for Arbor Day Final arrangements for the trans- panting of the trees will be perfected soon and it may be possible for the formal exercises incident to the work to be held on Arbor Day. It is con- templated that each tree will be ap- propriately’ and permanently marked for some fallen son of A. and M., but | thiz plan will be supplementary to the plan for the memorial library build- ing and will not interfere with those. plans in any way.
