It is somewhat reminiscent of an old monastery garden with its fountain of tile surrounded by majestic evergreen trees and cool green grass divided into long, narrow avenues.

It constitutes a complete unit in the architectural plan of the new Rollins. Other gardens, similar in nature, will be placed between and about all new buildings as they are added from time to time, thus contributing to the distinction of the completed campus which President Holt hop:s will closely resemble a Spanish medieval village.
