To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

At several times the CRIMSON has published articles that have a bearing on the welfare of the students of Harvard University. The recent bad weather has brought to my attention a condition that should be speedily remedied. Anyone who finds it necessary to use the walks about the College now realizes their fearful condition. It seems that someone has neglected his duty. Why is not the slush cleaned off so that pedestrians can go about with dry feet? Cambridge certainly has a law which requires property owners to keep the sidewalks cleared of snow and slush. Harvard has been extremely lax in complying with that ordinance. At present no one can get to classes or anywhere with dry feet, unless he wears "Arctics" that no self-respecting western farmer would wear to town on market days. It is to be hoped that this condition will soon be remedied and that we shall not have to wade through the ice until the kind sun melts it away. We hear so much about the unemployed. Here is a chance for the University to give an army of men work at least for a time. Surely this great seat of learning that teaches others civic pride can selfishly provide for its own welfare. A.
