It is offensive such an act is even being contemplated. I fully support the New Haven Preservation Trust in advocating the maintenance of the integrity of the wall of this magnificent National Landmark.

The wall is not only historic, but it blocks out the city noises. Birds (and people) flock to these peaceful place.

Both as plot-holder and former resident of New Haven, I strongly object to Yale's plan, which violates the integrity of this landmark. For what? The Cemetery already welcomes the public through Austin's magnificent arch. The streets outside, along the wall, could be beautified instead of piercing the wall itself. Please help preserve the Cemetery and the peace of all who visit or rest there. Thank you.

Those interred in the Grove Street Cemetery were laid to rest there for eternity. They and the cemetery are part of the region's precious history. The wall is integral to the site and should remain intact. Would you remove the statue of Nathan Hale from the Old Campus for some reason of your own devising?

I have fond memories of all of the historically and significant architecture that comprises Yale's campus. These memories include the cemetery wall. Altering this cemetery in any capacity would not only be a grand display of disrespect to those who have been layed to rest at this site, but would carry with it an irreversible alteration of an aesthetically pleasing location and important landmark. Yale will not know what they have until it's gone

Tastes change, but once such a historic structure is altered, the opportunity to experience the impact of such architecture is lost to all future generations, architecture buffs and passing students alike. I'm shocked that Yale would make such a proposal regarding a neighboring property. Perhaps by stirring up a debate about the cemetery wall, Yale can divert attention from the far more dubious architecture proposed for the new residential colleges.
