There is another evil and a much more serious one that it will be well to speak of again and that is the poor ventilation of the recitation rooms. With the rapidly increasing number of men who are forced to use these rooms, the present system of ventilation has become almost intolerable. If the truth were told it would probably be shown that a large proportion of the cases of sickness that occur during the college year may be traced directly to these ill-ventilated rooms. Such a state of things is deplorable, and it cannot be excused on the ground that it is a new difficulty and that time is needed for consideration. In an editorial in the CRIMSON ten years ago a serious complaint was made with regard to this very thing. It does not appear that any lasting change for the better has been made since that time, and now owing to great increase in numbers, the situation has become infinitely worse. It is not a matter that can be put aside until the press of other business subsides enough to allow time for its consideration. it is of the first importance and should be attended to without delay.
