This may not have made national news, but a large hackberry tree fell on a group of prospective students touring at Vanderbilt today. 10 hurt, 4 in hospital, but none seriously (from what I've heard so far.) I'm curious as to what the university may (or may not) try to do for these kids. It was an "act of God" I guess, but they have got to be sweating in the Admissions Department right now. I remember during our tour last year how they were very proud of their arboretum - and rightly so; many fine large trees on campus. Not sure what my question is here, just thought it was an interesting, weird, sad thing that happened, and I'm glad none of the students was hurt badly.
