A correspondent says : " None should visit the campus without inspecting the university conservatories, as they are full of vigorous plant life, and are interesting and beautiful. The houses are perfect in every detail. They are in charge of Mr. Shore, who came from one of the finest places on the Hudson - that of Mr. Lillienthall, at Yonkers, to act as head gardener at the McGraw-Fiske place, and who has been transferred to the university greenhouses. He is considered a master in his profession. When it is remembered that last fall the conservatories were virtually empty, and that all the life now to be seen there has been created in the dark months of winter, it seems almost magical. The present condition of these fine conservatories speaks wonders for the future, when their capacity shall have been fully developed.

" A large lemon tree in the center of the great central or palm house is worth going up the hill to see, so loaded is it with fruit and flowers; and the south or cold house is ablaze with geranium trusses - a splendor that we can seldom witness out of doors, as our summer rains beat the petals off. An impression exists that the greenhouses are open only to those of the university. This is not so. They are open to all who behave themselves while there, just as are the other collections at the university."
