Although answers to the petition for electric lights have been received steadily during the past week, there is still a large number from whom nothing has been heard. Out of twelve hundred and fifty postal cards sent out with the petition, about one hundred remain unanswered. From the answers received, however, it is very easy to see the drift of college opinion, for only half-a-dozen men have expressed themselves as opposed to lighting the library. Every professor and instructor from whom we have heard is in favor of the petition, and two professors have had the kindness to explain their views on the subject more fully by letter. A mistake was made in addressing the envelopes so that a number of law school men received postal cards instead of the instructors in college. We should deem it a great kindness if those instructors who have not received the petition, would let us know their opinion in the matter. The petition will be sent to the corporation some time this week and we hope that every man who has not sent in a reply will do so at once.
