Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 14: November, 1909
The charms of the old world universities are many, whether we consider their setting, so different in the case of Edinburgh and Cambridge, their venerable buildings, their towered and battlemented gateways, their quaint courts and cloisters, their ancient halls, their beautiful chapels, or their libraries and museums filled with precious memorials of' the past. To these we shall have to add, particularly if we are in England, the peculiar loveliness of the grounds found at the rear of the college buildings - their winding, many-bridged streams, their spacious lawns grazed by deer and sheep, their attractive gardens, and most beautiful of all, perhaps, their stately and far-reaching avenues overarched by chestnut, elm and beech.
