The way in which the Yard is used in hot weather as a loafing place for young Cambridge "muckers," and still more the way in which the outside public almost monopolizes the College pump, is extremely offensive. There should surely be some means of securing to Harvard students the more exclusive enjoyment of the advantages of the Yard. As long as the public did not intrude too disagreeably, it may have been well to leave them undisturbed; but that point is now far passed. Students are repeatedly annoyed and decidedly inconvenienced by the presence of outsiders who have no right whatever of free access to the Yard, but whom no effort is made to exclude. A little exertion on the part of the College police in imposing some restraint upon the many intruders would be heartily welcomed.
