    I remember when the arches were lined with camellias - colorful and beautiful when in bloom. Then Authement had them all cut down to save on landscape expense.

    Authement ran a very low cost campus, but its former beauty was destroyed.

    Savoie is bringing some of the beauty back, but we are getting a lot of brick and concrete too.

    The new quad will certainly be an improvement over the previous version.

    I might be dating myself here but when I was in school the only thing in the quad was grass and cow paths. Many, many trips between FG Mouton and the Burger Chef.

    Yes there were camellias at every other column in the arcade. Many different varieties from the Heyman nursery. There are still some survivors around Martin Hall.

    I sometimes wonder if putting all those names on the bricks is really worth it financially and aesthetically ... some of us old timers like the green space with more native plants and a beautiful view rather than all this ground concrete.

    Maybe it would have been better if just people that wanted bricks, paid for them to see their name with less space requirements. I know some who love their name on something while others could care less - a controversial subject at times.

    Sorry, as a fellow old-timer I couldn't disagree more: I love the new design, and the alumni bricks. This past fall I made an effort to find and photograph most of the names I recognized. I then sent to people (or posted on FB) and the response was great! People loved seeing 'their' bricks. IMHO, we have outgrown the wide open spaces of yesteryear.
