Editor of the BULLETIN:
I have heard a great deal recently in Cambridge and Boston to the effect that the elms in the Harvard Yard were being killed by the elm borer and that in five years the trees would all be dead. Two reasons are assigned for this: first, that the persons in charge can not come to an agreement as to how the trees should be treated, and second, lack of funds. It seems to me that if those in charge can not agree it would be well for them to submit the matter to some recognized authority on the subject, and I feel sure that if word were sent out to the alumni that the trees in the Yard were in danger of extermination, money enough would be raised to save all the elms in the state of Massachusetts. Yours very truly, WILLIAM T. PICKERING '09.
Providence, R. I., Jan. 9, 1910.
