Lecturer Here Loses Map, Wants It Back

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dewitt C. Poole, visiting lecturer in government, is having all kinds of difficulties in his Gov 18 lectures this week, all because someone spirited away two maps from the classroom, Harvard 6. "These other maps are too small, too inaccurate," he claims, ruminating over the good old days when he had a six foot large map entitled "The World Physical Environs" to illustrate his lectures, and another dubbed "Kolonial Besitzungen des siebzehn und achtzehn Jahrhundert."

Should someone have borrowed the maps to cover patches of bare plaster in his or her room, Poole will be glad to suggest a less-strategic wallpaper. The Government Department, which is not ready to start a College-wide investigation, has the idea that some envious professor with an eye to his own requirements might have walked off with the two maps.
