To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In the Saturday morning's edition of the CRIMSON appeared another one of its innocuous editorials with a complaint against the ringing of the bell in Harvard Hall at the early hour of seven in the morning as the subject of its them. By simple arithmetic it was calculated and concluded that over sixty hours of sleep per day were lost by the unfortunately-situated occupants of the ancient and honorable dormitories in the yard.

But such calculation did not take into account the barely possible fact that some of the more energetic of the three Hundred students might have arisen at this hour. Nor did the editor recognized that the decreasing number of "late parties," one of the effects of far-reaching prohibition, may have resulted in less late sleeping than in recent years.

In the old days, mayhap, the ringing of the seven o'clock bell might have required not only the awaking, but also the arising of the students at that hour. Is it that the times have changed? Very truly yours.   FREDERIC B. WHITMAN 1G. B.
