I think I see our landmark live oak tree to the right of the lone pine. You know, the live oak that is beewetn Space Science and the road today. I'm thrilled to see it was there in 1912!It looks to me like the quad is still in the process of being planted. Notice the loose dirt among the hedges to the right, and several shovels lying about. There is even one stuck in the ground near the structure on the left. Perhaps the structures provide shade for the workers to rest when they take breaks? It looks like there is a trench on the left where a set of hedges will be planted soon. The corresponding area on the right doesn't even have a trench yet. What is the structure at the far left-hand side of the picture, to the left of the burning trash and smoke?If you look along the front, there are plants in pots waiting to be planted. I don't think that palm tree right in the center front lasted long. I seem to remember one of your early commencement photos from last week that had a white planter with a shrub in that location instead.Overall this is a totally fascinating picture of the very early days of the quad.
