In 1906, one year after the first and only Tree Planting Day on the WashU campus, the University Yearbook adopted this logo.
An incredible day today in the University Archives and Special Collections. A complete privilege to be paging through the original Olmsted campus plans, the adopted Cope & Stewardson plans, the failed campus competition entries, and the early 20th century tree inventories. Special thanks to University Archivist Sonya Rooney for her introduction to the collection and invaluable assistance.
Certainly more to come….
