To the Editors of the Crimson:

To any one who has used the reading room of the Library recently the increase of noisiness on the part of students, over any previous year must be apparent. Until recently there has been some sort of regard for the proprieties of a place where many men are obliged to come for study and research: now, however, there is a continuos undercurrent of talking, tramping of feet and banging of chairs. Nothing is more annoying in such a place than a scuffing of feet, a drum beat on the resonant desk, or a dry episode coming from three benches away. Some communication is necessary and so, of course, is walking, but I suggest that the students be reminded of their present thoughtlessness and of the regards they owe to the rights of other people. The College has done its share by the numerous placards posted about the building; all that is left is an appeal to manners and a sense of justice.
