A typical example was a temple erected on a stone which slanted...

The lone oarsman can compromise himself unnoticed and unlibelled by nature's young noblemen who frequent the river-front. But seriously, here is a chance for the landscape architect to plant something but formal gardens. The dormitories, the boat houses, the Stadium, and the new bridge are worth a setting...
