Located on the University of Oregon campus and north of the James F. Miller Theatre Complex is a dedicated tree with a nearby plaque that reads:
Pinus bungeana
(LACEBARK PINE)
PLANTED 1998 IN HONOR OF
HORACE ROBINSON
A THEATRE MAN
FOR ALL SEASONS
The University prides itself in its large collection of trees on campus and has created an online tree atlas that visitors can follow in discovering where each tree exists. There's a part of the atlas that highlights the dedicated trees on campus and reads:
The map symbol of a circle or triangle with a dot in the center represents a tree that was donated to the university. Class trees, annual University Day plantings, memorials, and retirement commemorations are among these donations. From 1976 to 1983, a donation program known as “100 Years, 100 Trees” was organized and operated by the University Women’s Club in commemoration of Oregon’s 1976 centennial. This program added about 450 trees to campus, of which 326 survive today.
For some unknown reason this particular tree is NOT mapped anywhere on the Tree Atlas.
