| 释义 |
The Campus Pond at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is a pond located in the center of campus that was created in the early 1890s. It is bordered to the south by the Fine Arts Center. HistoryIn the early years, the pond was dammed during the winter of 1890 and 1891 by two students. Damming a river that ran through campus, the pond was justified as a source of natural ice in the days before refrigeration. Over the years, the pond was used for various student activities, as well as numerous events,[1] including the Spring Concert.[2] Over the years, the number of Canada geese has increased around the pond, a direct result of increased acreage of lawns around the region. Furthermore, their waste has combined to create a nuisance for pedestrians in and around the pond, as well as foul the pond with algae growth.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Campus Pond History|url=http://umasshockey.com/campus-pond-history.html|publisher=UMass Hockey|accessdate=24 October 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=UMass Amherst Pride and Traditions|url=http://umassalumni.com/pride/traditions.html|publisher=UMass Alumni Association|accessdate=24 October 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Freeman|first=Stan|title=Fowl waters: Canada geese turn UMass pond area into avian toilet bowl|url=http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/01/canada_geese_turn_umass_pond_a.html|accessdate=24 October 2013|newspaper=The Springfield Republican|date=30 January 2012}} External links
