March 9, 2017 In 1936, homesick for his native Upper Peninsula, John Reynolds, ’39 (left), planted an Austrian pine tree from his home on the quad. Eighty-one years later (and earlier this week), two of his grandchildren who are members of the College grounds staff helped take down the tree, which had been beset by disease. But a new tree from the Reynolds family cabin in the U.P. will soon be brought to campus and planted in the same spot.
