It has been a long established custom at Harvard for undergraduates to surrender their rooms to members of the graduating class for class day. But of late years certain proctors, as if exempt from any such custom, have refused to give up their rooms when requested, and it is on this matter that we wish to say a few words. Of course their is no law, excepting that of courtesy, which can compel a man to give up his room unless he sees fit to do so; but, taking into consideration the trouble such an action may cause, it hardly seems possible that any one can refuse his room if he gives the matter a moment's kindly thought. The entire college is indebted to the senior class for the pleasant features of class day, whether any one person cares to enjoy them or not, and the only way in which to repay this kindness is for all those who possess desirable quarters to permit of their being used when they are needed. It is very seldom that any damage whatever is done to a room, but if there should be, we feel sure that the gentlemen who use the rooms will see that everything is made right with the owner. This is one of the understood conditions in the borrowing. It is merely an act of courtesy, and we earnestly hope that no member of '84 may be put to any inconveniences through some one's want of consideration.
