Rare Here Memorializes Jackson Raney, to Dr. Boatner by the Late Head of Indiana School

The majestic black walnut is, unfortunately, one of the vanishing trees of America. On the Indiana School for the Deaf campus, however, there is a magnificent stand of these great trees growing from eighty to ninety feet high. These trees greatly enhance the beauty of the entire school.

Quite a few years ago, thanks to the late Dr. Jackson A. Raney who was at that time Superintendent of the Indiana School for the Deaf, we secured a bag of walnuts. Optimistically, Dr. Boatner of the American School for the Deaf tried his hand at planting these walnuts and planted about a hundred of them, but either the squirrels or something else got them. Anyway, no green shoots appeared. Thanks to one of our late great instructors, Mr. Joseph Bouchard, who planted a considerable number on our campus, several of the walnuts did sprout. One planted in front of the superintendent's house at the American School for the Deaf has grown to the point where it is now over twenty feet high.

American Elm, ASD’s first oldest tree on the campus.
Once upon a time, ASD had two rows of beautiful American Elm trees lining the entrance and exit driveways. Unfortunately all died but except one from a disease. Yet, an American Elm tree still exists. It is growing near a curve of the road next to the Laurent Clerc Dormitory. In 1960, it had a disease and had to be cut down, somehow it sprouted alive and remains one of the oldest tree on ASD campus.
