A student chats with (from right) Justin X. Carroll, assistant vice chancellor for students and director of residential life, and William H. Danforth, Life Trustee and chancellor emeritus, at a tree-planting ceremony April 4. Students from the William Greenleaf Eliot College Council planted a Katsura tree (foreground, left) in honor of Elizabeth “Ibby” Gray Danforth in front of Elizabeth Gray Danforth House on the South 40. The tree replaces one that blew over a couple of years ago. Andrew O’Connell, a junior resident adviser in William Greenleaf Eliot Residential College, and A.J. Singletary, president of the council and a Danforth Scholar, each delivered remarks at the ceremony, which was attended by several staff and students. “When you had the chance to meet with (Ibby), you not only knew you were in the presence of great person, but she made you leave feeling that you were a great person yourself,” Singletary says. “I like to think that this tree will symbolize these same characteristics to students, providing a bright greeting or a haven for reflection. Just as this tree shall continue to grow in our residential college, the legacy of Elizabeth Danforth will continue to grow and benefit our University community well into the future.”
