THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH.

At Oxford only the Dons, or college officers, are permitted to walk on the grass. At Harvard the "Dons" appear to be the only persons to pursue the paths. Everyone else, led on by that delightful abandon which accompanies the approach of the merry Maytime, not only ambles on the grassy edges of the lawn, but, on the way to Memorial Hall, ventures occasionally into pastures new. The result in the latter case is a fairly obvious suggestion that the Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings establish a new and convenient path. This suggestion will, doubtless, be acted upon; but in a Yard where the lawn now remains one of the few elements of pride, we should practice a strict conservation of our natural resources, and follow the proverbial middle course.
