Excerpt from Yale Yesterdays Fifty years ago and Mr. Croswell's word-picture was a realism. A mighty line of elms of girth, of spread and leafy richness stood just inside the western curb of College Street. It was mated by another line some thirty feet away on the College grounds and that by yet another just in front of the Brick Row. The resultant was two vast arches, high, symmetrical, a great nave of bough and leaf which, as studied by the sylvan critics of the time, dimmed even the famed glory of Temple Street. Only the pale re¿ection of them appears in the photographs of the period which with the camera aimed at the Brick Row and not at the elms - are for the most part winter or late autumn pictures when the elms were lea¿ess.
