GREEN CAMPUS





*

A LETTER FROM Prof. V.S.  TO Dr. RIESZ



*

Dear Dick:

After many years a good news about The American College has appeared in The Hindu this morning and I thought I will share it with you. The news item with the attached picture says that the only two green patches in the city of Madurai left as seen from the air are The American College campus (you can barely see the Chapel dome and the roof of Main Hall in the picture) and the Railway Colony. The American Missionaries and the British Railway Engineers can take credit for this. I don’t think any new trees were planted in the last few decades. It is good news that the people who have spoiled so many good aspects of the college have not succeeded in spoiling the green cover the College has acquired over the years.

I am proud of this.
