To the Editors of the Crimson:

The lecture room in Dane Hall where Fine Arts 4 is held is confessedly bad. A part from the fact that the room is painfully inartistic and too small to seat all the men who wish to take the course, the noise from Harvard Square makes it impossible for men sitting near the windows to hear a large part of what is being said. If another hall can be found which meets these difficulties and proves otherwise satisfactory, why should the lectures be longer carried on under conditions in which a large part of their value is lost?

The remedy for the whole matter seems to be Sanders Theatre. It has one drawback, - there are no benches for note-taking; but with stiff covered note books it is easy for a man to take notes in his lap. Otherwise it seems entirely satisfactory. It certainly affords better surroundings for lectures on the Fine Arts than were afforded by Upper Dane; and above all, while being as easy to fill with the voice as Sever 35, it is large enough to accommodate with comfort all the men who wish to take the course.
