Memorial Avenue of Elms
In 1922 this Avenue of Elms was completed and was dedicated as a living memorial to the men from the Manitoba Agricultural College who had laid down their lives for their country in World War I, 1914-1918
Memorial Avenue of Elms
In 1998, on the 76th anniversary of the completion of the Memorial Avenue of Elms, the 1922 dedication was extended to include former Agricultural Diploma and Degree students, together with members of the academic and support staff of the Faculty of Agricultural and Home Economics who sacrificed their lives in the Second World War and the Korean War.
The Faculty of Agricultural Students' Organization which provided the inspiration and leadership for this new dedication, gratefully acknowledges the generous contributions of the Agricultural Community, graduates, staff and friends of the faculty.
