The oak trees along Elmsley were planted in 1988 when Fr. James McConica, CSB was President. Having studied @UniofOxford, he tried to recreate the collegial feeling of the English campus .@uStMikes. https://t.co/I8JOzbzBZV

[University of St. Michael's College @uStMikes]

If you're looking to beat the heat, the shade from the oak trees along Elmsley is great option. Learn more about the history of our #OasisInTheCity -- and share your thoughts about future improvements.
