The urgent need of a new dormitory becomes more and more apparent at the beginning of each college year. Especially is the want felt this year, with the largest freshman class that has ever come to Harvard. If the classes continue to increase, as seems likely judging from the past, it is but a question of time when more suitable accommodations must be furnished either by the college itself or by private enterprise. A great majority of students prefer rooming in the college buildings, as the rooms are more convenient, and in many instances cheaper. The popularity of the college rooms is attested by the fact that not a single one remains unengaged, and the number of men who have been turned away disappointed from the Bursar's lottery year after year, is but too well known. The handsome buildings which have risen around us bear witness to the generosity of Harvard's friends. Here is an opportunity for some would-be-benefactor of the college, which we hope will not be neglected. A large dormitory heated by steam, with single and double rooms at a medium price, could easily be filled and would prove a very acceptable source of income to the college.
