On The Beach

The Summer School social office has provided students with a truly prodigious variety of non-academic forms of amusement. But in all its splendid activities, with the sole exception of tours of Olde Boston's historic areas, there is, regrettably, no connection with anything peculiarly New England.

Other summer schools give their students a taste of the local customs. Wyoming University, for example, holds a mammoth buffalo barbeque. Certainly Harvard, in tradition-laden Massachusetts, can do as well. We propose, as a start, that the School sponsor a giant clam-bake at one of the local beaches. Such an event would be more than nourishing: a far better mixer than the Continental ballroom or a Yard Punch, it would make the heat much easier to take.

Given proper encouragement, the School would probably try such a feast. Let your Social Director know you care.
