RED SQUARE — It was a solemn occasion this Tuesday as Red Square filled with mourners for what could have theoretically been a tree on campus. Hosted by Right to Life, the event began with a poignant speech acknowledging that because the acorn looked to be at least 6 weeks old and had the potential to maybe one day germinate and grow into a tree, stepping on it was just as bad as chopping down a beloved tree on Copley Lawn. “It was basically growing leaves,” argued the president of Right to Life, while sadly looking at the open casket of the smashed acorn.
