SAU's new Lone Pine at four years old.
In 1956, a storm blew done Southern State's original Lone Pine tree on "Aggie Hill." Four years ago, Dr. Berry, SAU's current president, planted its successor in the same spot on the day of his inauguration.
The original tree (see below) was a favorite trysting spot for students and was the scene of many a marriage proposal. (Photo from old SAU Yearbook)

Soon, our new Honors Seminar classes will be traveling around campus in our SAU as Text exercise. The National Collegiate Honors Council always schedules a "City Name" as Text exercise in the venues of its conventions. Naturally, this year's will be titled: New Orleans as Text. The idea is to learn about a place by walking around using a list of historically interesting sites.
