University of Idaho Campus - Administration Lawn - Olmsted Designed Parks on Waymarking.com

From the Campus Explorer:

The University of Idaho has one of the most scenic campuses in the western U.S. The Palouse region has hills with rivers and lakes, with mountains nearby, offering a wide variety of recreational opportunities. The master plan for the UI campus was originally designed in 1908 by the Olmstead Brothers, the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted; the same landscape architecture firm from Massachusetts that designed the U.S. Capitol grounds and Central Park in New York City. Other notable campuses designed by the firm include Stanford, California, Washington, and Notre Dame.

The University of Idaho campus newspaper The Argonaut carried an article about various campus traditions including the Hello Walk that describes the Spanish American War Memorial that graces the Olmsted designed Administration Lawn.
