Elms: Today, the trees are mostly grown and those who The Battle remember stark brick buildings on a barren hillside have cause to wince at the sound and sight of chain saws toppling campus elms. with It has been known for years, of course, that the elms were dying. But the fact has never been graciously accepted in a community where the "Elm City" is a the Beetle sobriquet or on a campus where almost all of the trees, including the elms, were planted by hand. Even before classes were held on the Hill, college crews were implementing a detailed landscape plan. In a most dramatic project carried out in January, 194 I, ten 40-foot elms were planted on the approach to Lorimer Chapel. Transplanted with giant clods of earth protecting the roots, they were put in the frozen ground with the aid of earth-cutting saws, tractors and One of the few original Mayflower Hill elms and the largest over JOO years old, it grew across the road in the field op on campus, this infected tree was cut last summer. Well posite Mary Low and Coburn Halls. 16 "At the same time we are protecting the future beau ty of the campus with an ambitious tree planting pro gram." The memory of George Whalon, Mr. Grindall's predecessor as superintendent, was honored last year with the es tablishmen t of the Whalan Grove of some 40 Amer ican beech trees near Johnson Pond. In addition, dozens of pine and birch trees were plan ted in the adjacen t area. This fall, other areas of the campus were planted with a variety of saplings including green ash, pin and red oak, and sugar maple. Landscape architect Carol Johnson, whose first work at the college was the natural setting for the newe5t dormi tory complex, has been the consultant for all of the new plan tings. "We are planting more trees than we are cutting down," says Mr. Grindall, "and while we may lose the fight to save our elms, we will never again have to wish tha t the trees on campus would grow faster." E.H.S. Mature elms, grown in a campus "nursery" about a half mile away, were moved in the winter of 1941 to the lawns on the approach to Lorimer Chapel. Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Ansel Grindall was then a member of the crew and worked on the project. Jn recen t years, he has supervised the removal of some of the elm trees infected with Dutch elm disease. power winches. Nearly everywhere on the campus, holes had to be blasted into surface ledge to give young saplings of several varieties a place to grow. By a cruel coincidence, most of these trees reached ma tur ity abou t the same time that the Du tch elm di sease began its devas ta tion. Transm itted by a beetle, the disease is caused by a fungus of spores wh ich clogs life-sus taining capillaries in the wood. For the past several years, Richard J. Campana, pro fessor of botany at the University of Maine, has served as a consul tant to Colby, Bates, Bowdoin and the state university in waging the battle with the beetle. While there is no cure, the persisten t war has been fough t on three fr onts - the application of an environ mentally-approved spray, the direct pressurized in jection of "medicine" called Benomyl, and a program of sanitation by which infected wood is removed and destroyed . As part of the sanitation program, some 30 elms 40 have been removed in the past three years.

Responding to the pressure of filling the shoes of Bruce Car michael '74, who allowed 13 goals in 11 games last season, Sanderson was superb, allowing just 0.86 goals per game through the first seven contests.
