GENTLEMEN, - In reply to the inquiry "Why are not students' letters delivered at 5.30 P. M. the same as citizens'?" I would answer that it is impossible at that hour for the carrier to find his way through the dark halls, and Mr. Danforth says he is not willing to employ a janitor for the purpose of lighting the gas, which is now used by students only as they require, unless some greater demand is made than now exists...
...Gore Hall is nearly empty, and could easily be turned into a reading-room, to which students could have access whether the Library was open or not. It could not be lighted in the evening; but lack of money prevents the present reading-room from being used at that hour, so the change would not increase this inconvenience.

...another column will be found the programme of the scratch races, which will take place November 9. From time immemorial these races have been rowed an hour, or more, late. This has been due mainly to the carelessness of men who did not take the trouble to register in time, and to the delays that always attend the starting of picked-up crews. The committee will do everything in their power to make the races agreeable both to spectators and contestants, but they can do very little unless the men themselves will take the slight trouble of registering, at least...
