EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON. The urgent need for better dormitory accommodations must be met in some way in the near future. As soon as the college can secure available funds a new dormitory will undoubtedly be erected, but meanwhile it has suggested itself to the minds of many that old Massachusetts could be refitted at comparatively small expense in such a way as to provide pleasant quarters to a great number of men. It is but a few years since the building was altered to its present condition owing to doubts as to the strength of its walls, and as a result it stands empty and useless for weeks at a time. Now it seems as if the old hall could be again made useful by building interior partition walls of brick so as to strengthen and bind the structure together; and by dividing it off into suites of rooms like those in Holworthy, with a study in front and two bed-rooms in the rear, the accommodations of the yard would be materially increased. By this arrangement twelve suites of rooms would be provided, of which two would be reserved for proctors, and these suites could readily be rented at $200. Aside from all questions of money-getting, however, does it not seem unfortunate that such a historic old hall should be suffered to stand useless and decaying when so many men would be glad to room in it for the sake of its associations? There is an indescribable charm about the rooms of Holworthy, Stoughton and Hollis, that is lacking in the newer buildings. Why then should not Massachusetts be restored that some of us may have an opportunity to pass a few years of college life in one of the cheery, low-coiled rooms, with small windows and deep, comfortable window seats, which at present are in such demand in Holworthy?
