294 ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNIVERSITY are disappearing—a memorial church driving one out, a dean'8 residence another, an expensive structure for use as combined boarding and dancing hall a third, sometimes a fraternity house clearing out a whole half block* Trees everywhere are reaching a considerable growth, and most streets are paved. The towns have an atmosphere of spaciousness, quiet, and in summer of trim greenness that is very refreshing, and that hundreds of the faculty would not throw into the balance to gain the variety of a large eitjt It might be well if the towns were to cooperate with the University in erecting a planning commission to see that the two University districts and the campus were brought into harmony; but the problem is solving itself very well.
