The subject of ventilation is so trite that we hesitate to allude to it, and only do so in the hope that we may work a change in the matter. There is much complaint concerning the poor ventilation of the lecture room in Boylston, especially during the lectures in Freshman Chemistry.

The confined air is still further vitiated by the gases and other products of chemical experiments. No one could reasonably expect to have perfectly pure air in a chemical laboratory, but leaving out of consideration the pollution of the atmosphere by the chemicals used, the means of ventilation in Boylston Hall are altogether inadequate.
