EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - There is yet another complaint to be made by the suffering public. It is true that of late complaints have been so numerous in the communication column of the CRIMSON that outsiders may perhaps believe that all is wrong and nothing is right here at Harvard; but how can we be blamed?
Let us turn to this latest trouble. I refer to the benches which are placed across the floor of the gymnasium during the winter meetings. The various officers of the day sit thereon, but we are able to "sit upon" them only in print. The motive for thus placing these benches on the floor is indeed praiseworthy; but the result is very sad, for these benches and their occupants obstruct the view of nearly half the audience. The wrestling of last Saturday, for example, could not be seen by those seated in the south end of the gymnasium, except from a few of the highest seats.
These benches are perhaps a survival of the cross benches of the English House of Commons; but it should be borne in mind that the occupants of these leave them in case of a division of the House.
It would no doubt be fully as convenient for the officers to reserve seats for themselves, elsewhere, and thus leave the floor clear; by so doing they would greatly oblige all who are not so fortunate as to get the best seats.
