EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : In your article of Monday on fire-escapes it was mentioned that "the plan of permanent ladders, such as are now on Matthews and Holyoke, was objectionable in several ways. On the front of the buildings situated like Hollis, Stoughton and others the ladders would be ungainly-looking objects and give easy access to robbers in summer." These objections, however, do not apply to the middle entry of Thayer. A stationary ladder could be adjusted to the building on either side of the entry windows facing the chapel without destroying the harmony of structure of the hall...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : In the last number of the Crimson I noticed a letter in reference to the negotiations that are at present pending between the boat clubs of Harvard and Yale. The charges made in the letter are grave, certainly, but I think that upon examination it will be found that they are from the pen of one of the graduates who interest themselves in college athletics without sufficiently acquainting themselves with the actions and policy of those who have the direction of these athletics. Of such men, I regret to say, there have been of late altogether...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD. - The practice of sending home a notice of a failure in any one of the ever recurring freshman examinations seems to me unusually severe and in many cases quite unnecessary.

The freshman maximum physics paper was unusually difficult, and naturally about one-half of the section failed. Some...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: It seems strange to many seniors that any misunderstanding should have occurred in regard to the heliotype albums. It was known at Pach's studio last fall that the negatives would be destroyed, for one member of the class was told, upon his saying that he supposed that he could order more photographs at any time, that he must order them before Feb. 1, for after that the negatives were given to the Heliotype Company, and were destroyed in making the heliotypes...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : On Friday afternoon I learned that the heliotype album, containing four pictures on a page, cannot be produced without permanent injury to the negatives. It seems strange that this was not found out before; but it was only a few days ago that Mr. Pach received back the negatives furnished for the sample, and found that, in order to accommodate four to a page, they had been cut down to a size that rendered it impossible to secure cabinet pictures from them. Therefore we must give up the idea of a heliotype album for $12. I immediately...
