Perhaps in a race with the snow, Carleton grounds crews have been recently busy cutting down some dead or dying trees around the Bald Spot. It's sad to watch a towering tree get shredded into dust, but on the other hand, it's wonderful to find, the very next day, a healthy sapling in its place. As of this morning, there were a half-dozen newly planted trees around the quad - among other things, a sign that Carleton plans to be around long enough to see them grow up.
