When we consider the number of men who took advantage of the skating on Holmes field two days ago, it is a matter of great surprise to us that the field has never been flooded artifically. The advantage of such a scheme is apparent. The nearness of the field and the case with which it could be flooded are strong argements in favor of the plan. Means could be taken to exclude all except students and their friends; and as long the cold weather lasted the lovers of skating could enjoy good ice.
It has been suggested that the track might be injured if this project were carried out; we cannot see, however, that ice formed by flooding the field would cause any greater damage than the ice that forms there naturally every winter. We express the opinion of a large number of men in college when we say that some organization should take this matter in hand immediately.
