Inscription.
Given by Silas R. Mountsier III, Class of 1952, Trustee of the College 1976-94, to enhance the total aesthetic of life and place that is the Allegheny experience. His love of our campus is evident in the daffodils in the ravine, the Sutton Bench, the campus master plan, and this walk.

"Alleghenians are here imbued with the liberal arts to take their places as true gentlemen and gentlewomen -- feeling, shaping and contributing to their worlds."

Landscape Architects: Rolland/Towers
