Why will men persist in coming in late to the lectures, and public readings held in Sever 11? That is a question often asked and we are forced to say it, one to which it is impossible to give a satisfactory answer which will exonerate the delinquents from blame. Attention is called to this bad bubit of game of the men among us again, and again, but apparently to was little purpose for the evil temporariy checked, soon increases to its old proportions. Cannot the thoughtless who are guilty of this annoyance keep in mind that their action disconcerts the reader or lecturer, and draws away the attention of the audience? A constant stream of men coming late often mars the first fifteen or twenty minutes of these public meetings in Sever 11, for the hard floors and wooden chairs of that lecture room do not permit the late comer to take his seat in silence, unnoticed. Prompt attendance at a lecture is under any circumstances but a proper courtesy to show the speaker, and in Sever 11 a necessity.
