Over 3,300 campus landscapes coast-to-coast represent a continuum of landscape
design spanning more than two centuries. In most cases, the central quadrangles
of these grounds remain, but equally important supporting spaces and significant
views and vistas are falling prey to campus parking and new building construction,
forever altering these sylvan settings. These nationally significant landscapes
represent the pioneering works of such masters as Frederick Law Olmsted
(Stanford), Warren Manning (Amherst College), and Marian Coffin (University
of Deleware) as well as more recent post-war visions by such California
modernist landscape architects as Ralph Cornell and Thomas Church. A national strategy is necessary
to reverse this trend.
