THE HANOVER TREES

Alarmed by the report of damage done to the Harvard elms and the serious situation of the tree in general in other places, the Trustees of the College have authorized immediate and careful treatment of the trees belonging College on the campus and around the buildings. These consist of elms and maples and the report of the men who have been working on them for some time is distinctly encouraging. The elms which are the real glory of the streets and campus were found to be in better condition than the maples. gypsy moths were found, few browntails and no leopard moths, which have been doing the greatest damage in Massachusetts. Some fungus disease was discovered, but this is largely killed oft during each successive winter. It is a matter for congratulation that the Trustees attended to this matter before the danger became serious. The same policy will be adhered to in the future, and new planting will be done wherever it seems advisable.
