KEEP OFF THE GRASS!

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. In your Monday's issue I noticed a suggestion that a policeman be employed to patrol the yard and frighten the small boys away. The suggestion is praiseworthy. But a further and still more valuable use might be made of the said policeman. He might be employed as a portable scare-crow and have appended to him before and aft placards bearing the firm injunction, keep off the grass. He might then be moved from place to place by "the authorities," and put athwart the pths of the sand-loving students who prefer to see a checker-board of paths, rather than to take a few extra steps and have a nice lawn of grass. Such a method of preventing the destruction of the beauty of the yard would be far more agreeable than the one which the college has at last resorted to, and would appeal, if not more strongly at least more pleas-antly, to the consciences of the pathmakers.

A LOVER OF GRASS.
