In a campus as sweet, beautiful and close to nature as that of Chung Chi College, one is apt to be attracted by unusual smell, sight and sound, to the discovery of unfamiliar, interesting objects of natural history. “What is that plant? Its flowers are so beautiful! What is that tree? Its blossoms are so fragrant!” have been questions and comments given to me frequently in classrooms or by the hill-side.
