...world, but is in reality easily accessible to the urban streets of Cambridge. Common sense dictates that if you live in a big city, you need to be more careful. A person would no more leave their New York City apartment unlocked at night; why should living in Boston be any different? Beyond closing and locking all of the Yard gates at a certain time (a highly undesirable, confining act) or hiring more security guards, not much else can be done to improve safety...
Locks are never going to solve this crime rash--no, plague--this crime plague that is sweeping campus. We have to go to the heart of the problem. The heart of the problem is that here near Boston, we are not in small-town Wisconsin. So I have a recommendation for us all: Let's move the whole University to small-town Wisconsin.

Three years ago, we sat together in Annenberg, learning about each others successes in viola and hockey, in public service and debate. Now, History and Literature and Folk and Myth students will crowd together with Economics concentrators to hear about the Boston Consulting Group. Harvard has a stake in producing as many of these types as possible; consultant/banker/technology whizzes will chair the alumni campaign of 2030 or maybe donate a computer lab when the brand new Maxwell Dworkin is outdated...
