The recent fainting cases in Mass. 3 have demonstrated two things about that picturesque, but uncomfortable room. First, that the upper windows in the south end are seldom, if ever opened; this makes the room excessively close. Second, these windows are not covered by curtains, and the unfortunates who take History 13 and Political Economy 4 are exposed to the glare of a noon-day sun on the back of their heads, till the page before them becomes a blur, and then they either faint, - or stay away. Seriously, this ought to be remedied; the complaint has been made so often before that it should be listened to. Men are constantly in danger of severe headaches if not of actual sunstroke from this cause. The rays of the sun coming on a June day through a pane of glass, falling upon an unprotected head or neck beneath, and playing over its surface for an hour, is excessively painful, if not dangerous. Then, the glare caused by this same cause is excessively unpleasant, both to lecturer and student. Negligence to remedy these defects has transformed what ought to be one of the most comfortable recitation rooms in college, to a hot-bed; either a change must be made at once, or some more cases of fainting must be recorded.
