CROSSING THE BAR

The puddies created by Dunster's drainless walks makes one wonder whether the house by the Charles might not run out a landing place in the manner of Weld. While the Venetian aspect of its quadrangle on a rainy day serves admirably to shut out the less aquatic visitors, it is distressing that the Mayflower descendants should have to wade ashore. Fortunately the basement affords a dry route to the dining Hall, but the janitor Charon might find some other means of getting the students dry shod across the flood.

When the Harkness Hoot declared that the house members "were wallowing in luxury", it at least brought out an implication of dampness.
