−
# If you want to start a new page, simply type in the new page's name in the URL. For example, a new page titled "Opie Chick" would mean you would type in "honors.uca.edu/memorial/index.php/Opie_Chick" into your browser's address bar. The page should appear with nothing on it but the title. Easy, right?
 
−
# Editing a page is as simple as travelling to the upper right of the page and clicking on the "Edit" button. This will send you to the "code" version of the page, where you can use the information from the "Editing pages" and "Formatting pages" links above to make changes to that page. Or you can just dump the information into the text box and someone else will come along and format it for you.
 
−
#* Please press the "Show preview" button at the bottom of the editing page before saving, this way you can view the effect of your changes and fix mistakes before submitting the changes completely.
 
−
#* Also, please include a summary of your changes so that we have a log of everything that has been modified. This may seem arduous at first, but it should become habit rather quickly and you'll be thankful for the changelog.
 
−
# If you have any questions or comments about a page or its contents, use the page's Talk/Discussion page to voice them. This will help avoid confusion and clean up the community-editing process. Please refer to the Quick Links section to find the MediaWiki Help page on Talk pages.

The Living Tree Memorial

Many of the grandiose oak trees lining the sidewalks on Donaghey Avenue and outside Wingo Hall, McCastlain Hall and Bernard Hall were planted after the end of World War II as a living memorial and infinite tribute to those who ultimately gave their lives in World War II. Then named Arkansas State Teachers College (ASTC), the University of Central Arkansas initially planted 38 trees in 1946 and has planted more over time as more alums were identified as having been killed in the war.

-- excerpt from The Living Tree Memorial brochure, printed by the University of Central Arkansas.


Head over to The Story to read more about the history of the Living Tree Memorial, including its formation and purpose.

The Veterans page explores the service members memorialized by the oak trees and also contains a map of the memorial part locations.
