Tornadic-speed winds last summer devastated trees on the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ campus, including several of the historical white pines in the central Pine Grove. Gifts from alumni and friends of the college are funding a program to replace the trees. The first re-planting by ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´'s grounds staff occurred Friday. Symbolically, the 10-year-old white pine was planted near ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´'s landmark Van Vleck Hall. Nearby white pines that survived the 2011 storm are estimated to be 80-90 years old.
