Yesterday evening the Vagabond was regaling himself with a copy of "The History and Traditions of Harvard College." He came to a description of the pleasant town of Cambridge in the days when John Adams was president, and Harvard men still knew Greek and Latin. He read of a quiet country town, of meadows that stretched away from the confines of the Yard, of tidal marshes bordering the Charles and of the elms that made Massachusetts Avenue a shady, restful country lane. Well--, the Vagabond realizes that the world must change, and he supposes that twentieth century traffic on the Avenue, gasoline fumes, and the Boston subway really represent progress. But he still holds firm to his belief that green grass and college campi are one and inseparable, and when it is proposed to remove a major part of the remaining vestiges of grass, particularly in the Yard, the Vagabond's soul recoils with horror. Controversy there is bound to be over the erection of a new chapel, and the Vagabond does not propose to stay out of the controversy. Here is his suggestion, humbly offered to a can-did world.

He would institute a back to nature movement for Cambridge. He would lay out, on the territory now occupied, all too unworthily, by the Freshman squash courts, and library, a beautiful memorial park, small, perhaps, but perfect. Cambridge is too encumbered at present with brick and stone. In the years to come the situation will only grow more pressing. Why not substitute a spot of natural beauty, for the Garganiuan pile that has been proposed? The Vagabond can think of no more fitting memorial to the war dead.
