EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON. -Having just been compelled to wade through the yard of this noble college, I am full of wrath at the mismanagement which allows such sidewalks as we have. Every man in college has had the same experience for the last two weeks of rainy weather. What we want and must have, is better sidewalks in the yard. The stone walk from Grays to Holworthy, in front of Weld and University, is a disgrace to any civilized community.
We have, I suppose, a superintendent of the yard. Why does not this college superintendent do something to remedy matters? No doubt the old excuse of "no funds" will be raised. Well, if Harvard can't afford decent sidewalks, it better shut down at once. Many other complaints are rife among the students. We want the library lighted by electricity; we want better lights and more of them in the yard, the doorways, and the entries; we want to know what the faculty are going to do about the resolutions on athletics; we want no recitations on legal holidays. This inactivity, this silence on the part of the faculty is oppressive. Let us see some signs of life. We are anxious to learn our fate.
Lastly, we want to see something done immediately to remedy the horrible condition of the sidewalks. Now for a grand brace.
IMPATIENCE, '85.Feb. 23, 1884.
