Why Does it Matte if We Trim the Suess Spruce?
By: Erik Buckingham
Many grounds men and administrative officials have insisted that the Suess Spruce tree should be trimmed. Any student focused on their education would wonder why they are so worried about this topic when registration, course planning and class sizes are seemingly more important issues. These students forget that the Suess Spruce is most likely the first thing that we saw on a Geneseo pamphlet before we applied.
Students would also question why the Suess Spruce has to be on pamphlets, but we cannot create a unique identity by displaying our only other distinct feature: ivy covered buildings. Colleges across New York State like Syracuse University, Hamilton College and Utica College all have ivy growing on their buildings.
Students who applied to many hilltop colleges would also question why we do not just display the sunset on the front of Geneseo pamphlets. This is because there are so many other schools like Virginia Tech, Colgate University and University at Buffalo with sunsets that are advertised on their pamphlets.
