Memorial: Estella Hefley, Dean of Women 1933-57, and her students,
planted these trees in 1945 as a living memorial to the Ole Miss students
who died for their country during World War II. The names of these
individuals are listed on a plague in the Alumni House, which was dedicated
to the University's war dead in 1951. |
