A campus is traditionally the land on which a college or university and related institutional buildings are situated. A college campus includes libraries, lecture halls, residence halls, student centers or dining halls, park-like settings. A modern campus is a collection of buildings and grounds that belong to a given institution, either academic or non-academic. Examples include the Apple Campus; the word derives from a Latin word for "field" and was first used to describe the large field adjacent Nassau Hall of the College of New Jersey in 1774. The field separated Princeton from the small nearby town; some other American colleges adopted the word to describe individual fields at their own institutions, but "campus" did not yet describe the whole university property. A school might have one space called a campus, another called a field, still another called a yard; the tradition of a campus began with the medieval European universities where the students and teachers lived and worked together in a cloistered environment.

The notion of the importance of the setting to academic life migrated to America, early colonial educational institutions were based on the Scottish and English collegiate system. The campus evolved from the cloistered model in Europe to a diverse set of independent styles in the United States. Early colonial colleges were all built in proprietary styles, with some contained in single buildings, such as the campus of Princeton University or arranged in a version of the cloister reflecting American values, such as Harvard's. Both the campus designs and the architecture of colleges throughout the country have evolved in response to trends in the broader world, with most representing several different contemporary and historical styles and arrangements; the meaning expanded to include the whole institutional property during the 20th century, with the old meaning persisting into the 1950s in some places. Sometimes the lands on which company office buildings sit, along with the buildings, are called campuses.

The Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington, is a good example of this usage. Hospitals and airports sometimes use the term to describe the territory of their respective facilities; the word campus has been applied to European universities, although most such institutions are characterized by ownership of individual buildings in urban settings rather than park-like lawns in which buildings are placed.

Mary Marshall Dyer, was a voice for the forgotten Anti-Shakerism sentiment in rural New Hampshire. In 1813 she joined the Shakers of New Hampshire. Disappointed in her lack of a leadership role and frustrated by the constraints of Shaker life, Dyer left the community in 1815, her husband, remained as did all five of the Dyer children. Mary Dyer accused the Shakers of alienating her from her children. Fearing for her children's safety and left without any means of financial support, she gave public talks and wrote tracts against the Shakers in an attempt to gain public, legislative, support for her cause, her principal writings included A Brief Statement of the Sufferings of Mary Dyer and A Portraiture of Shakerism in 1822. In 1819, she raised a mob to storm the Enfield Shaker Community to take her children back, but this effort failed. Joseph Dyer remained devoted to the community and criticized her in strong terms, responding in print to his wife's published accusations. Four of her five children remained Shakers for life.

Her son, left the Shakers late in life, but did not appear to have a close relationship to his mother. By the 1850s Dyer's anti-Shakerism seemed extreme, in New England at least where the Shakers were now considered "quaint" rather than dangerous. Mary Dyer died a forgotten figure in 1867, she is the earliest known example of an activist working to counter the practice of what today is known as "parental kidnapping" or "parental child abduction." However, in the early nineteenth century, a married mother with a living husband had few legal rights over her children. And when he indentured their children to the Shakers, Shakers became the Dyer children's legal guardians, thus the Shakers' holding of the children was legal under the law of that place. Given those laws, Mary Dyer was the parent. Unlike others who published books on Shaker-related parental kidnappings and lobbied for laws against such practices involving Shaker parents, Dyer took an active part in assisting others involved in such cases and in educating the public about what she saw as the anti-family ideology and activities of the Shakers.

Her activism reached from 1815 until her death in 1867.

Jedediah Island Marine Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It is an island, 243 hectares in size. Anyone is free to camp on Jedediah island; the nearest access is from Lasqueti Island. The Palmers bought the Island in 1949 as a vacation getaway in the summer. In 1972 they moved to the island and became full-time residents, they lived there for twenty years. Mary Palmer didn't want the island to be developed after she was gone, so they fought long and hard to try to preserve it. In 1994 a small group of residents on Lasqueti Island became concerned that the Palmers might have to sell the property after the commitment from a land trust organization fell through. So they organized a campaign to save the island. In less than six months, more than four million dollars was raised. A major donation came from the family of Dan Culver, Canadian educator, white water rafting pioneer and mountain climber. Donations came from all over the province; the minister for the environment of the province of BC bought in too and the target amount was achieved and surpassed.

But at the eleventh hour, the deal was uncertain until Mary Palmer got the provincial park service to agree to Class A status for the island, meaning it could not be logged or mined. With that commitment in place she signed the island over to be our new Gulf Islands park. People gave support. With a large donation from the Provincial Government, Jedediah Island was turned into a provincial park and can be enjoyed by visitors for years to come. In the summer of 2007, a family visiting Jedediah Island found the remains of a human foot on the beach they were at, it was the first in a series of feet to be discovered over the next two and a half years.
