We invite all members of the University to contribute to this column, but we are not responsible for the sentiments expressed.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

May I protest through your columns about the way in which the placard-boards of the University buildings are being used or rather mis-used? What is the average condition of the boards? They are covered from one week's end to another with the flaring advertisements of private firms. If a student, a team, or a society wishes to post an announcement, the notice can of course be added to an existing accumulation. But what good is the notice if an hour later it is to be buried under Smith, Jones & Co.'s unparalleled offer in the clothing line?

There is no necessity whatever for any such use of the College bill boards. Let business concerns use proper channels to advance their private interests.

Should not the janitors, then, be instructed to remove all these private advertisements? The task of keeping the boards clear of such foreign matter would not be great, for those who place it there would soon grow weary of supplying the janitors with cardboard, when once it was understood that their placards would not be allowed to remain.
