Memorial Drinking Water.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

For several days there has been in Memorial Hall a petition requesting that the water in present use be changed for the spring water used in previous years. The petition is put upon the ground that the water is distasteful.

Not only is the water offensive to the taste, however, but it is positively unhealthful. The writer knows of no less than four cases where men have been made ill by drinking it.

It is to be hoped that many men will sign the petition in order that immediate action may be taken, for it is manifestly wrong that a thousand students should be forced to drink water which is disagreeable, not to say positively dangerous. '98.
