OF THE YARD.

From an editorial in the current Alumni Bulletin, we quote the following for the perusal with deep gratitude of those of us who have been bewailing the degradation of the Yard: "It may now be said that besides the small trees, which must form the main foundation for the future, the authorities intend, at the most propitious season, to plant a considerable number of well-formed, middlesized trees, probably elms, which have already been offered--one by a class, one by a Harvard club, and others by individuals. The alumni have shown every disposition to be liberal in this matter; but in the enthusiasm of giving, it should be borne clearly in mind that there is a more enduring need of money for care, food and protection, to ensure the ultimate success of any plan adopted at this time."
