A Park-Like SettingThe 145-acre campus of Salisbury University is a placefor the scientific study and public display of variouswoody and herbaceous plants. The University began itscollection of plants in 1985; in 1988, the AmericanAssociation of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta grantedthe University arboretum status. The arboretum’smission calls for the collection and display of plants forthe purpose of “providing an attractive landscape setting,conducive to learning, which demonstrates the diversity ofthe plant kingdom.” In keeping with this mission, thecampus features over 2,000 species and is strong in manycollections of magnolia, rhododendron, viburnum,linden, elm, roses, wisteria, bald cypress, dogwoods, crapemyrtles, oaks and Japanese maples.The arboretum’s gardens and areas of special

interest include: the Pergola, the Perdue SchoolCourtyard, Holloway Hall Courtyard, Fulton HallGardens, the Bellavance Honors Center Japanese Gardenand the Miller Alumni Garden. These areas are plantedwith hardy and tender perennials, annuals, tropicals andbulbs and many are accentuated by water features as well.The Horticulture Department, a division of the

Physical Plant, is comprised of 12 full-time staff, up to 25student staff and one intern. In addition to maintainingthe arboretum’s plant database, it is responsible for thedesign, planting and general maintenance of the campusgrounds and athletic fields.

A Varied Sculpture CollectionSince 1994 Salisbury University has been developing acollection of figurative sculpture to complement itsarboretum. The collection is notably strong in the area ofturn-of-the-century Beaux Arts sculpture. This includesworks by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who was responsiblefor the development of the Beaux Arts style in the UnitedStates, Daniel Chester French, who sculpted Lincoln forthe Lincoln Memorial, Frederick McMonnies, whocreated the doors to the Library of Congress, andHerman Atkins McNeil, best known for his Westernsculptures.Also included in the University’s sculpture collection

is the head of Pierre de Wissant by August Rodin. This isone of the original studies for the sculpture the Burgers ofCalais. Two sculptures in the collection were originallymade for the American Museum of Natural History:Wounded Comrade, by Carl Akeley, and Timber Wolf Group,by William Turner. J. P. Morgan, the great financier, likedWounded Comrade so much that he donated the funds forthe African Wing of the American Museum of NaturalHistory in New York City. The African silver-back gorillaIshmael, by Bart Walter, was commissioned by SalisburyUniversity in 1995, and a large chimpanzee Contemplation,also by Walter, was originally commissioned by Dr. JaneGoodall. Antoine-Louie Barye, acclaimed as one of thefinest sculptors of the French Animaliers School, madethe Panther of India.The collection also presents important figurative

sculptures from more recent periods. Rocket Thrower, madeby Donald De Lue, was the centerpiece for the 1964World’s Fair. Leonard Baskin, who sculpted reliefsculptures for the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial inWashington, D.C., made Prodigal Son, and Benson Selzermade Fallen Angel. The latter sculpture portrays themedieval myth of the Succubus, or the dark angel, whocomes down to earth to seduce man’s body and steal hissoul.
