The aesthetic objection which has been raised to the fence about the new athletic grounds can be very easily solved, as has been suggested, by building a fence around the grounds which shall be ornamental in itself. In this connection we would suggest to the committee a consideration of the style of fence which is to surround the new athletic grounds at Yale. This consists of a thickly planted hedge of sufficient height closely flanked by a barbed wire fence. Such a fence would certainly answer all purposes, and would besides meet very well several of the objections urged against an ordinary board fence. Any additional expense which might be incurred by such a plan would, we feel sure, be cheerfully met by the college. Indeed, when we consider how much more has been raised by the Yale students than it is proposed to raise at Harvard for new athletic grounds, it would be strange were any plan which would offer such manifest advantages as this one to be rejected for lack of funds.
