Up With Grass

The condition of various areas of the
Grounds has been deplorable in the past few
years, due to construction, weather, and
perhaps a bit of mismanagement. The Lawn,
especially, has been in a condition far from its
normal verdant state for the past two years.

Finally, the B & G people have gotten
some grass to grow. It is not Astro-turf. It will
die if it is pounded daily by people going to
class. The Lawn is a source of beauty and joy
to all who behold it, with the possible
exception of a few misanthropes. We do not
want it to die. Please use the sidewalks.
