Two views of campus in 1885 show the “beautiful green arches” that Ezekiel Porter Belden '44 had written about four decades earlier in Sketches of Yale College. Shown here is a view north along the Old Brick Row toward Battell Chapel; the unidentified young men, presumably students, engage in the age-old pastime of lounging under the elm trees.
