...Corporation do not want the exercises to take place around the old Tree is because the quadrangle between Harvard, Hollis and Stoughton and Holden Chapel is so small. It is said that if the seating area around the Tree had been under police regulation, we should have had to move some time ago, in order to accommodate the crowd. It really is horrid to think what might happen if the light skirts of one of the women caught fire, there would be no room for the crowd to scatter, one skirt after another would catch and the enclosure would very...
...hope of the Class Day Committee that the programme they offer this morning, if not generally approved, will at least have the effect of making Seniors consider the questions which a move from the old Tree enclosure entail, and be prepared to assist them with suggestions in the Communication column of the CRIMSON, and at the class meeting Friday evening.

...move entirely away from the old enclosure is, at first sight, an infinitely harder step to take than to modify the exercises in the same place. Even if the exercises are degenerate, the associations of the place still remain. But after all is not a move inevitable, and illustrative of the expansion of the College? Let Seniors look at the old place and consider the law laid down by the Corporation, and they will see clearly that there is no room for improvement over the ill success of last year. The courses which lie open are either to move...
