EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON - In a recent editorial, the Advocate generously propounds a problem to the incoming board of directors of Memorial Hall and with characteristic modesty refrains from even hinting at a solution. As we can readily conceive the burden under which the directors are laboring, we offer for their consideration sundry suggestions, the adoption of which, we have no doubt, will render Memorial Hall an institution of still greater worth and splendor.

The difficulties due to rapidly increasing membership, on which the Advocate lays great stress, are in reality the least serious of all. There is sufficient available space in the strangers' galleries and Sanders Theatre to meet any exigency of that nature. Indeed, it is a matter of wonder to us that Sanders Theatre has never been utilized for this purpose before. The stage will easily accommodate three tables, and, instead of forcing strangers into dimly-lighted galleries, exhibition eating might be given them. Friendly eating matches also might be improvised between the tables and would form a source of no little interest and pleasure to both spectator and participant.

Again, strangers visiting Harvard naturally desire some souvenir of the place. To meet this long-felt want we suggest that lunch counters be set up in the transept and a free meal be given to every one who purchases a glass of milk and a bottle of Apollinaris water. The impression thus produced would be deep and lasting; one that would transcend all earthly considerations of space and time.

Then, too, the language used in the present bill of fair is a subject of burning discontent. "Pwin de Beau" is hardly elegant. Though shrouded in mystery, there is not sufficient subtle suggestion about it. On the other hand, a menu printed entirely in French, would open up to the uninitiated a strange, new world of glad surprises and stirring experience.

If these suggestions, however, fail to receive the approval of the board, we trust this last one will be carefully considered before final action is taken. We propose, that on the first of every month the Stewart, the chief cook and the head waiter, assemble in the transept, place a cauldron of boiling soup in their midst, and then, joining hands, turn slowly and majestically around it, shouting the chorus in "Macbeth" beginning

"Round about the cauldron go," etc.

With suitable draperiesand the weird light, shed by the solitary candle at the end of the hall, we can imagine no scene more solemn and impressive. It would combine the classic beauty of one of Alma-Tadema's pictures with all the sombre melancholy of modern realism.
