A communication, which we cannot publish for lack of space, very justly complains of the thoughtless way in which the bath-rooms at the gymnasium are used by a large number of men in college. These rooms are for bathing, not for dressing, especially not for putting on such articles of apparel as a hat, an overcoat, and a cane. It is not only ungentlemanly, but it is unfair for any one to occupy a bath room longer than absolutely necessary; the accommodations are already inadequate to the demand, and any action tending to make this inadequacy greater is censurable. Men in college, possessing a spirit of good sense and genuine humanity, would welcome some rules at the gymnasium to limit the time for using a bath-room. But better than rules, however strenuously enforced, would be the general effort of those, who go to the gymnasium, to make the accommodations as widely useful as possible. We appeal to the gymnasium authorities for the rules, and to members of the college for the effort.
