By Paul F. Jacobs *66
Published in the Sept. 24, 2008, issue
I found your article “Growing the campus” in the June 11 PAW absolutely splendid! The cover photograph, as well as those on pages 21, 23, and 25, invokes memories from long ago as well as the existing beauty resulting from the extraordinary work of Beatrix Jones Farrand and her...
