A student at St. John's College in Annapolis, Md., walks along a plastic fence erected around the historic Liberty Tree because of the danger of a large limb loosened by Hurricane Floyd on Wednesday Sept. 22. Some tree experts have recommended cutting down the 400-year-old tulip poplar but college officials are determined to keep it. In all there were 13 Liberty Trees, one in each of the original colonies, where the Sons of Liberty met and plotted the American Revolution against the British. The Annapolis tree is the only one left.
