HOGLUND GARDEN is a memorial to Susan Hoglund ’80, given by her parents Bill and Beverly Hoglund. The bronze figure by sculptor J. Holland is titled Here Comes the Sun. THE B ULLS , bronzes by Peter Woytuk, arrived in 1995 as an exhibition of the artist’s work and were acquired by the school two years later. See photo on inside front cover. B EESLICK B ROOK WOODS , also known as the Hotchkiss Woods, is a 200-acre forest that borders the campus to the south and is used for recreation, inspiration, and occasional outdoor classes, particularly English, art, and environmental studies. It is traversed by several sce-
nic trails, including Beaver Pond Trail, maintained by students in Outdoor Leadership and related co-curricular groups. As a living laboratory, it’s also a key resource for the Hotchkiss Summer Portals program, which emphasizes environmental studies. THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL started in about 1970 as a cairn improvised by students from construction-site boulders near Ford Tennis Courts. A student-faculty project to formalize the tribute resulted in a bronze plaque, later replaced by a granite rock incised with the names of six “students who gave their lives in the Vietnam War.”
