WHEN THE ASSAULT WAS INTENDED ON MEMORIAL HALL

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Aye! Tear her time-worn turrets down,

Bastions of time and fame,

Built high for those of Harvard's sons

Who died in Freedom's name!

When Harvard men to come have gazed

At towers of glass and stone,

How shall they judge the men who razed

The past they might have known?

For yet another monstrous pile,

In Concentration-Campus style,

For yellow stripes, orange dots,

For concrete, grim and hard,

The Harples of Dean Sert shall pluck

The castle by the Yard. Anonymous '61
