EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: It has been a subject of frequent inquiry why the chemical laboratory is not left open during the first part of the examination period, at least. There are many men in the chemistry courses, who, although they have worked faithfully during the year, have not been able to finish the work. If they could have a week to put entirely on the laboratory work they would probably be able to finish it up. Of course, this would be extra trouble to the instructors and would keep Cleary at work longer. But I think that the benefit the many might receive would make up for the inconvenience of the few; or, if the college cannot afford it, a small sum might be charged those who wish to use the laboratory during the first week of the examination period.
