Red Berries

While walking across the grounds of St. Ann's Academy I found myself suddenly treading on all these glorious ruby-like berries scattered profusely over the path. Anyone know the name of the tree these berries come from? It has needles like an evergreen but instead of cones it has these red berries.
Thanks to Lori who suggested in a comment that these berries are the fruit of some species of the Yew tree. I suspect she is correct.
