It is generally believed that the improvements made last summer in the north and middle entries of Thayer, will be extended to the south entry of that building and to Holworthy during the present year. This of course will necessitate more or less tearing down and re-building of interior partitions. While these re-arrangements are being made, it seems that an excellent opportunity for installing electric light is afforded. If this is ever to be done, the present period of reconstruction is undoubtedly the most expedient time.
The disadvantages of gas are only too apparent. The present fixtures are un-lovely enough, and the light itself besides being hot exhausts the oxygen of the air at the same rate as five men. The expense of electric light is slightly greater than that of gas, the difference ranging from $5 to $7 a year. This matter should be taken up by the Senior Dormitory Committee of the Junior class.
