On The Pump.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

I should like to say a few words in regard to the removal of the college pump. Just why the pump was removed is not very clear. The pump was not blown to atoms as reported in the newspapers; the damage was comparatively slight, and could have been easily repaired. We suppose, therefore, that the College authorities removed the pump as a matter of discipline. Granting that the attempt on the pump was a malicious one, the removal is hardly a punishment to the perpetrators. It is only causing very great inconvenience to those rooming in the yard, and others, who deprecate the attempt as much as the college authorities. We think therefore that it would be only fair to replace the pump, or else we suggest that subscriptions be received for a new one. GRADUATE.
