THERE is a general wish among the students who room in College, that the late afternoon mail should be delivered to them. We have asked at the post-office why the students are less privileged in the matter than the people of Cambridge, and have found out that it is because the entries are not lighted. The Bursar tells us that the amount of matter that usually comes by the half past five mail seemed to make it scarcely worth while for the college to employ men to light the entries, but that it would be done if the desire was general among the students. Holyoke and Matthews already have janitors whose duty it is to light the entries, and there is no reason why the late mail should not be delivered in those buildings at once. It seems to us that the college ought to take immediate steps in the matter; the expense certainly cannot be much, and the convenience to us would be great; besides having our mail delivered, we should be able to get to dinner without fear of tumbling down a flight or so of stairs.
