...used in office walls and movable partitions. He has established the fact that a square yard of felt of a given thickness will absorb a certain amount of noise, and that if there is an overplus of noise, one must simply put up a corresponding area of sound-proof blanket. He has produced a long-fibre product of felt, designed to secure strength without losing absorbing power. The general result over the country has been the elimination in many cases of private offices, and the creation of large, single, office rooms, the ceilings and walls of which are treated with...

By advocating an absolute abandoning of subscriptions the CRIMSON did not wish to deplete the treasury. On the other hand, we have stated that in our opinion a blanket ticket to all Harvard contests would more than make up the loss. Whatever method of financing is followed, however, we sincerely hope that the future will see Soldiers Field in a condition to receive, without overcrowding, all of our intercollegiate and all of our intercollegiate teams.
