AND THEN THERE WERE NONE

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

Congratulations to the Department of Buildings and Brounds, which has at last found a perfect substitute for the rather untidy grass which has for so long disfigured Harvard Yard. Many of us were worried when we saw a gang of workmen spreading hot asphalt over what had been a lawn at the entrance to Seever Hall, but our anxieties have been set at rest now that the metalled surface has been painted green. If this green does not exactly blend into the surrounding landscape the fault must lie with the landscape, and I hope Buildings and Grounds will have the courage to continue this treatment throughout the Yard, in the interests of, consistency.

The trees too have long been a breeding place for all manner of vermin, and I suggest that they be removed at an early date. Shade could still be provided by suspending plastic louvers from steel pylons, and a link with tradition maintained by scattering among them a few clay pigeons and stuffed squirrels.
