UNIVERSITY CAMPUS BEAUTIFIED BY AN EXPERT LANDSCAPE GARDNER-MUCH WORK DONE THIS YEAR KEEN COMPETITION EXPECTED. Professor Fogg Looks for Spirited De bating Tryouts. There Is one department of tho Uni versity which -rerhapB receives the least publicity in the press notices, yet which exerts considerable Influ ence over the destinies of the Uni versity and that Is the Department of Landscape Gardening. This phase of campus life has been developing for three years until at tho present time returning students svero greeted by one of the moBt artis tic and unique college campuses in the United States. Some tlmo ago Regent Copeland, who was traveling In Colorado SprlngB and was impressed by the beauty of tho grounds surrounding the Soldiers' Home received the inspira tion that many possibilities were in 8 to re for the beautlfication' of our own campus. 'Accordingly ho Induced Mr. William Hill Duncan to' come to Ne braska, and secured a. generous ap propriation from the Board of Re gonts to carry on the work. Came From England. Mr. Duncan Is a native of England where ho received his experience ns a gardener at the Sandringham Palace, one of the king'B palaces. Hence he brought with him a conception or royal taste and elegance both of which have been displayed In tho picturesque campus which he has perfected. It will bo conceded that Mr. Dun can has had a dilllcult task to han dle. His lack of familiarity with Ne braska soil and the Irregular sotting and design of tho buildings mado the problem of working out a harmonious Bchemo well nigh impossible. Yet the Impression now received is not only pleasing, but beautiful. In an interview with Dean BoBsey, he is quoted as considering tho No braska campus ono of tho most beau tiful for its size that In his experience he has seen. Farm Campus Also Beautiful. The work of keeping tho campus up I Is carried on by n corps of six men who divide their time between tho city and farm campuses. An appro priation of $5,820 is nllowcd annually to carry on thlB work. At tho time of the original appro priation It will be recalled that con siderable opposition was raised from some sources that the money should be used for equipment.
