Thirteen new elms are to be planted in the Yard this spring through the generosity of a member of the Class of 1880, Arthur H. Lea, of Philadelphia. Every one of these is a well-developed tree, varying in size from 12 to 17 inches in diameter.
The gradual sickening and death of the old elms during the past ten years has caused much consternation and regret, the cause of the trouble being undiscoverable.
The suspicion that there were other causes responsible for the failing of the trees than beetles and bugs was recently substantiated.

The new trees will be considerably larger than the four that were set out in 1914.
