EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-Is it from a spirit of economy that all the gas jets in the halls of the college dormitories are extinguished after eleven o'clock, or is it from the dislike to light which is one of the characteristics of the college buildings, shown elsewhere in the case of that gymnasium lamp and also the lamp at Memorial. To return from the theatre or a call in Boston after the fatal hour of eleven, and be obliged to grope one's way up stairs, does not leave one in a comfortable state of mind,-or of body, for that matter, as the latter often comes in contact with the walls and balustrades. Bad as this custom is under ordinary circumstances, how much worse it would be in cases of fire or even of sudden illness during the night. The expense would be small to leave one jet burning all night, and it would at least show the belated student the stairs.
