CAMBRIDGE, May 26, 1890.

Editors Daily Crimson:

I wish you would suggest to our landscape gardener that while there is yet time he should transplant the young creepers he has set out so profusely against the Law School to the gaunt and bare rear walls of Hastings, which have not been given any, the Physical Laboratory and Thayer Hall, which would look handsomer, the deeper its natural hideousness were hidden from sight. The Law School is one of the few Harvard buildings that can stand scrutiny; and to cover up its walls with vines, especially the fine carved shield on its eastern wing, while the ugly architecture of the university is allowed to stand forth defiantly unveiled, seems to me a great mistake.
