8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
"Out of the gutters by Christmas" is the slogan of the 1st Motor Corps of the State Guard, which is now bringing order out of the chaos of Boston's zig-zag traffic. Lieutenant-Colonel John W. Decrow '04 heads this volunteer corps, and was one of those most prominent in its formation when the 1st Cadet Corps was mustered into the Regular Army, and the 1st Motor Corps was formed to take its place.
