The Ventilation of Lecture Rooms.To the Editors of the Crimson:

Permit me to use your paper to make a much-needed complaint against the wretched ventilation in our lecture and recitation rooms. I have, however, special reference to Lower Massachusetts during History 13 today. During the entire hour every window-and these windows are the only means of ventilation-was tightly closed, causing the air to be almost stifling. This is not only very unhealthy but it makes good attention and note-taking impossible.

As the authorities of the College do not seem to pay any attention to this most important matter,it becomes the duty of each instructor to see that a sufficient number of windows are opened before he begins his recitation.
