In Eucalyptus Court, the tree for which the court is named was full grown before the building was erected. When the actual construction of Balch Hall began, it was discovered that the position of the tree was not of the best in relation to the proportions of the flagstone court with its central fountain, and as a result the whole plan of construction was shifted to the south three to five feet to accommodate the tree. In warm weather small classes sometimes convene in the sunlight of the broad balcony that everywhere surrounds and overlooks the Eucalyptus Court.
