The CRIMSON feels called upon again to complain of the men who are tardy at recitations. Some men always come in late. From five until fifteen minutes after the bell rings, they come in, creeping stealthily if it is a first offense, or tramping noisily if it is habitual. This is very annoying to the instructor, as well as distracting to those men who feel enough interest to be on hand when the work begins. The five minutes allowed after the bell rings are surely long enough to permit a man to walk from anyone of the college buildings to any of the recitation halls. It is merely a matter of starting promptly.
The same complaint applies to the late-comers at the evening readings and lectures in Sever 11. "Better late than never" is a good maxim, but "Be on hand" is a better one. Respect for the lecturer and a reasonable regard for the rights and comfort of the audience both condemn the interruption and disturbance caused by the late arrival of lazy or thoughtless persons.
