Yard Shrubbery Unites Academia

Trees in Harvard Yard Wednesday bore signs of an attempt to integrate the two cultures: students and faculty. Social Director Karen Ordahl ingeniously labelled Yard trees to personify the Groves of Academe: English, Mathematics, Philosophy; Tuffets Restoration Society....

The last was an obscure classical allusion to Miss Muffet who sat on one. No spontaneous mass demonstration for Tuffets occured. Summer school girls sat on the grass.

Professor Kaplan, Philosopher of Art, turned his departmental sign upside down for sesthetic effect. Professor Dietrichson, who teachers existentialism, thought the gesture a comment on the plight of modern philosophy.

A wide-eyed Muffet asked her professor how to write a paper due next week. Professor smiled and said it didn't matter, really. Muffet retired to the grass.

And in the punch line flashed the news of another innovation: "They put ice cream in it this time!"
