Thursday, July 10, 2003Re: GreenprintA link to the D article can be found here.Hidden at the end of the article is that "the early part of the Assembly meeting was held outside on the Senior Fence on the Green, which the College will soon relocate to the corner of Main Street and Wheelock Street. Assembly members speculated that the move was to prevent foot traffic from cutting across that corner of the Green and killing the grass there." Does this strike anyone else as odd? I always thought that the Senior Fence is in its present location based on where the Senior Fence was historically. Could this be another example of the Administration destroying institutional memory via diktat to suit its whims and fancies? Or is the location of the fence of no historical import? UPDATE: I have since been informed that the location of the fence is not historical-- it in fact used to encircle the entire Green, so moving the current sections down to the corner of Wheelock and Main would not be anachronistic. Thanks are due to Nathaniel Ward from the D for sending me the information that was left out of his original article.
