TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON:-

HAVING elected Natural History 6 as one of my courses for this year, I was surprised and disgusted to find what a long walk it was to reach the Botanical Garden. Now, as I took this course under the impression that it was soft, and as this walk takes away all the softness that there might otherwise be in it, I think it no more than right that the distance should be decreased in some way. It is not right that the time of sixty or seventy men should be wasted twice a week by such a long walk as the distance now is. Either let the College be moved nearer to the Botanical Garden, or let the Botanical Garden be transplanted to some position nearer to the College. Or, if the College is too poor to go to this expense, I would respectfully suggest that the Faculty furnish conveyances to and fro. The cost need not be large, and the benefit conferred would be great, especially on a rainy day, or when the snow is several feet deep. For the sake of myself and the others who take the course, I hope the Faculty will attend to this matter.
