WE publish this week a letter relating to the erection of fire-escapes on the College buildings. This subject has been considerably discussed since the fire in Hollis, but we must remind any one who is wearied of it that it took two years of continued articles and remonstrances before walks were laid in the Yard. It is to be hoped that as fire-escapes are more important than flagstones, the Corporation will take a shorter time to procure them. During the Hollis fire an officer of the College was heard to remark: "This is quite remarkable; we thought we were safe from fire." That occasion has demonstrated that we are not more safe from it than the rest of the human race, and it is therefore high time to think of rendering such a misfortune as little dangerous to life as possible.
