Later Closing of the Library on Sunday.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

The following may be a matter that will bear being brought to notice in your columns. Though the usual hour of closing the Gore Hall reading room is 10 p. m., it is set back to 5 on Sundays. Now it happens that on that particuler day the dinner hour at Memorial Hall is 5.30 instead of 5. This leaves half an hour in which students not rooming close to the two halls and having to use both are forced to wander aimlessly about. The Fogg Museum doors are closed at the same hour (5 o'clock), and recourse to the Gymnasium is not to be had that day. The lack of coincidence of hours is probably accidental and might be easily remedied to the advantage of a large number of members of the University. For though the same ones may not be troubled by the present arrangement every week, in the course of a year there would be a considerable total addition to the convenience of students here by having either the reading room or the museum open half an hour longer on Sunday than at present.
