To the Editors of the Crimson:

Why cannot there be established after the Christmas Recess a series of short lectures or readings open to the public, and beginning at four-thirty or five o'clock? It is inevitable that students who invite friends to visit the University should choose an afternoon which offers some centre of interest. At present, the only afternoon of special interest is Thursday, on which the Vesper service is held; and as a result, Appleton Chapel is crowded by those who go there not to worship but to "look around." All true idea of Vespers, as far as they are concerned, is gone. If, however, there could be established a series of short afternoon lectures or readings, conducted by such men as Mr. Copeland and Mr. Hayes, not only would Vespers be freed from the many who attend with no idea of worship, but a more suitable form of entertainment would be provided.

NINETY-FIVE.To the Editors of the Crimson:

There have been a number of communications criticising the action of the Directors of the Memorial Dining Hall caused by the recent disturbance. It is not my intention to examine whether the offense was sufficiently great to warrant the measures taken to prevent a recurrence of such disturbances. However, in more than four years' boarding at Memorial, I have noticed that every time a disturbance occurred, there was great indignation expressed in the papers and among many students. So in the present case.

The directors, taking these manifestations of indignation for the general opinion of the students did the only thing in their power to put a stop to these ebullitions of juvenile spirit. And now the young men of Harvard cry because they are spanked!

Who appoints the directors of Memorial? The students boarding at Memorial. What are they appointed for? To direct the affairs of the hall. It seems to me, and it must seem to every unbiased observer that the directors should be upheld in their courageous, straightforward action. Others have threatened to no effect; they have acted.
