What was once a majestic tower overlooking the South Quad has been reduced to stumps and wood chips as Hamilton College's beloved tulip tree was struck by lightning for the third and last time this summer and finally deemed unsound. Hamilton will dearly miss this 150+ year old tree standing more than 100' tall just east of Cooper Hall. The Tulip tree was # 34 on the Tree Tour map. Arboretum Director Terry Hawkridge hopes to plant a new Tulip tree in its place.
