On all sides is heard a call for larger accommodations. Harvard needs at least three dormitories, an annex to Memorial Hall, and money for countless objects. We cannot expect that all of these wants can be satisfied in one day, but there is one deficiency which ought to be supplied at once. N. H. 5 has been declared open to only a majority of those who wish to take it, for the simple reason that there is not a sufficient number of microscopes to supply the demand. It is a great disappointment, to all of the unsuccessful applicants, and it would appear that they are suffering under unavoidable injustice. If our treasury were receiving anything beside unpaid bills, we might feel like donating a few hundred dollars to the college for use in purchasing microscopes, but under the present conditions, we can only extend our sympathy to the unfortunates, and plead their cause among our richer, but not more generously disposed, neighbors.
