In another column will be found a communication relative to the altering of old Massachusetts into a dormitory. It seems as if this would be a wise measure, since it would not only increase the present accommodations of the yard, but could redeem from neglect a building which is dear to many of the alumni from the memories which cling to it. By altering the three lower stories into students' rooms, the fourth story could be left undivided and thus be still used for examination purposes. We hope that the faculty may see fit to consider this project at an early date. that steps may be taken toward making the alterations during the summer vacation. The expense would not be heavy, and the returns from room rent would pay a sufficient percentage of interest on the money expended.
