EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- We take great pride in our University; we would not go to any other college so long as Harvard existed; we rejoice at the spirit of progress which has put us at the head of all the institutions of learning in this country. But sometimes we complain, and perhaps occasionally are unreasonable in our demands. The college authorities are by no means obdurate, for they have many times responded to the pleadings of the students, but to several of our entreaties they turn a deaf ear. In yesterday's CRIMSON was a communication asking for lights in the college library, saying that the best interests of the students demanded them. I wish to speak of a much less important matter, but one that is deserving of consideration. It surely does not seem unreasonable to ask that the lights in the hallways of the college buildings should not be put out at exactly twelve o'clock. Very often men are detained until after that hour, either by business or pleasure, and it is not agreeable, to say the least, on entering the building at ten minutes after twelve to find it shrouded in Egyptian darkness. One must cautiously feel his way up any number of stairs, grope slowly along the corridor, learning where to turn by putting his hand on the friendly wall; and after he has rounded the corner and made the door of his room he must again resort to his sense of feeling in order to find the key-hole. It seems absurd that so childish a regulation as this should exist. The college would be doing the students a great kindness if it would allow some lights to be left burining after twelve. We do not ask a brilliant illumination, but only a dim light sufficient to guide us on the way to our rooms.
