How Can College Women Childishly Disfigure Salem, Editorial Asks, March 6, 1926

There is one subject which is unpleasant to discuss, but of which we feel it is necessary to speak. This is the attitude of carelessness or of direct hostility which some people seem to have toward the swimming pool. The swimming pool is harmless and has done no one any injury; in the warm months it is a source of pleasure. Is the fact that it must lie idle in the winter any reason for maliciously defacing it? We think not. Yet every day a bit of more picturesque trash is added to that already in it. I is impossible to see how college women can be capable of such childish disfiguring of a part of the campus. Is the swimming pool to suffer because some girls lack training, dignity or a sense of public duty?
