Peabody is a member of the well-known firm of Peabody and Stearns, architects of Boston, and is also a member of the Board of Overseers. Professor Warren is at the head of the new Department of Architecture in this University.

There were no such things as board walks or sewers in those days, and, save for the light coming from the student's windows, the Yard was dark at night.

In this particular the Harvard entries will be at a disadvantage...

After a thaw like the present the Yard is little better than a marsh, and all the preparation that has been made for such a time has been the laying of a few narrow board walks along the unimportant paths. If it is indeed impracticable to have the Yard decently drained and taken care of, certainly it is practicable to lay wide board walks along every path. This is what we think should have been done. If this word of expostulation comes to late...
