Haverford College Arboretum plant curator Martha J. Van Artsdalen's new book documents 175 years of the Arboretum's history.

Haverford College Arboretum features more than 200 historical photos of the Arboretum, some of which have never been published before.

1885 shot of College Lane from Lancaster Avenue shows a distant Barclay Hall with its original tower (lost in a fire in 1946). The campus was still an active farm, with cows and horses fenced in on the field to the right.

Character

Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
