History of the
1904 Garden
The 1904 Garden is named
after the Class of 1904, which in 1935, proposed using funds collected
in the memory of a former classmate to establish a cutting garden.
The cutting garden was created in the Northern end of the then Clara
Leigh Dwight Garden, which extended South all the way to Pageant
Field. In 1952 the entire garden became known simply as the 1904
Garden.
In 1971 the construction
of the Art Building decreased the size of the garden by two thirds.
While the remaining portion included many of the features that can
be seen today, several others have been added since then.
Today, the 1904 Garden
provides a beautiful, quiet space in which to study the many genera
of garden plants, or simply sit and relax.
