The present Union College Grounds on Nistiquona Hill comprise some one hundred acres of campus, playing fields, gardens and wood- lands, the remnant of a much larger tract acquired by Eliphalet Nott during the early part of his sixty-two year tenure as Union's president.

The largest of Ramee's gardens was along Hans Groot's Kill behind North College, about where a formal garden was developed in the 1830s by a professor of mathematics, Captain Isaac Jackson.

The owner of Terrace Gardens proposes to raise rents at the park more than 75 percent, or $200 a month over the average $250 now charged per space.
