Few may know that just west of Williams Hall is a grove of thirty-three oak trees overlooking Michigan Avenue accompanied by a nondescript fieldstone slab nestled within the small park space.

A brass plaque explains that this grove of trees is a memorial to the thirty-three students and graduates of the M.A.C.
