To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The track team and the crew have already gone into strict training for their spring contests with Yale and the baseball team will follow soon. This means that the members of these teams are in bed by 10 o'clock. Of all things, to as man who is training, sleep is by far the most important. Especially near a contest men find it very hard, even under the best conditions, to get the requisite amount of sleep.

The object of this article is to remind the students of their responsibility in this matter: maintaining quiet after 10 o'clock, not only in the dormitories where the athletes live, but also in the streets near by. It is never ill will that causes a disturbance at night, but thoughtlessness pure and simple. A thoughtless noise, however, is just as effective as an ill-willed noise in keeping a man awake; and as sleep is of such vital importance to the teams, we ask every man to make a point first of keeping quiet himself and second, of reminding anyone else, stranger of friend, who may need the hint, of the necessity of quiet for the sake of the teams.
