If the city of Cambridge is anxious to prevent accidents at the Pond, it seems to us it has adopted a very poor means for carrying out its plan.

Besides the present buildings, the plan embraces reservations for extensive additional building sites for a university church, a memorial arch, buildings for the industrial department now under construction, libraries and museums, a botanic garden, four districts laid out in building lots suitable for detached dwellings and domestic gardens, with public ways directly communicating with the central university buildings, sites for a kindergarten, a primary school, an advanced school, and a school of industry and physical training, and a direct avenue between the central quadrangle and a proposed station of the Southern Pacific Railway, bordered by groves and promenades, with space...
