EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I was not born a grumbler, but I am in a fair way to become one. I am not very much more sensitive to a lack of comfort than my fellow beings, but I have endured, during the past two months, such great discomfort, that I must trespass upon your space a little to air my grievances. Imprimis. I take Pol. Econ. IV which recites in Massachusetts. I believe you have published a previous complaint about the absence of shades on the windows in that building, and I wish to reiterate...

Yet when the abuses at present existing in the college, simply (so affirmed) because of a lack of funds to obviate them, are once brought before us, we cannot but wonder how the claims of a foreign school can be preferred to those of our own. Our library, from a lack of funds to light it, has proved to be the most annoying of all our privileges...
