Science building site hurts campus beauty

The plans for the new science building concern me as they seem to include the destruction of part of the woods between Ballantine Hall and the Chemistry building. I am very surprised by this. It was my impression that these woods are to remain inviolate. The University should never sacrifice its beautiful trees for simple concrete and steel, especially when there is plenty of space in this very area to avoid such destruction. I am very surprised that no one has taken this matter up. \nMichael McCafferty\nAlumnus
