The cops will tread their quiet beats, and the commuters will wait peacefully in the Square for the Arlington bus, glad to be rid of the students rudely elbowing their way through the crowded safety zone. In the Yard, the snow will fall, eventually to melt away undisturbed by the usual hands of the students scooping up the flakes and pounding them into snowballs. Passengers in the great airliners flying over Cambridge will still look down and say, "See all those brick buildings by the river there, that's Harvard." But Harvard really won't be there...

It was scribbled rather carefully in pencil--on the dining room table just after the supper dishes had been cleared away. About this time of year, it was, too. Annually, it must have caused Mr. Farley's postal predecessor some trouble. The address was a little vague. Just North Pole. But it got through, You always knew what to bring. All in all, it was a remarkable performance...
