EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- Allow me to suggest in your columns that the college authorities provide light evenings in the entry of University where the Reference Library is. Such an innovation is greatly needed by the patrons of the library who now spend their time blindly groping for the protection of the kindly wall and aimlessly hunting for the key-hole of the mysterious Yale lock, while the readers within are torn with sympathy for the wanderers. So let us have a gas jet by all means...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I was not a little surprised that you should countenance such childish vituperation as appeared in the editorial column of your issue of December 12th. If it were not for the importance gained by its appearance in your columns, I would not answer such an ungentlemanly tirade.

Appreciating as we did the great difficulties the Lampoon works under, the surprising reputation it has maintained...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:-Please allow me to contradict a statement made in your article yesterday on the Conference Frangaise. I wish to state, on behalf of the Executive Committee (which has entire charge of electing new members) that any such "appeal" for new candidates for membership is neither authorized nor desired by the committee. We have a present membership of about 53, and the committee has thus far rejected nearly half the applicants for admission. I give these facts so that any man who takes your appeal to heart may not feel crushed if his application "n' est pas facorablement...
