Therefore we can consistently ask if the College acts wisely in not protecting the Memorial Hall windows by a wire screen of some sort? As they now stand, a stone from the hand of a "Port Mucker," or from that of an inebriated Freshman, might cause several hundred dollars' damage, and put the University...
