We are hearing complaints every day from men who have lost hats and umbrellas from Memorial Hall by the careless or intentional mistakes on the part of some men. We are not ready to believe that there are men who deliberately steal the property of others; but umbrellas are missing so often that all the mistakes can hardly be attributed to carelessness. There have been thieves in college in the past, and it is possible that there are some here now. At all events it is well to be on the safe side, and we would urge the directors of the Hall to return to the old system of leaving umbrellas checked in the auditor's office. A little more care on the part of the men who make such mistakes through thoughtlessness would result in the greater comfort of every one.
