To the Editors of the Crimson:
As Class Day is now near at hand, a word of admonition to the "powers that be," concerning the employment of Pinkerton men on that occasion, is not amiss. For the past few years these detectives. who are usually mustered from the roughs of the North End in Boston, have been employed by some one in power to watch over the yard and the surrounding spreads. At times they have made themselves most objectionable. Last year several stationed themselves at the gate of the gymnasium spread and tried to admit their lady friends by attempting to bulldoze the proper custodian. This gentleman was fortunately not to be trifled with although the Pinkerton men made themselves most disagreeable.
Now there is no reason why such a matter as this should occur. Cambridge policemen are at least as efficient as these men, and are, moreover, responsible to higher officials. If protection is needed, let us seek other guardians than the roughs of the North End.
