EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :-I should like to call attention through your columns to the present library regulations of closing a half-hour before sunset. This is in one respect an absurd regulation,-one causing much inconvenience to certain students. It happens to myself, and I suppose to many others, to have lectures three days in the week from 2 to 4 o'clock P. M. There are others who probably have such every day in the week except Saturdays. Now is it fair that we should be debarred from drawing out books at night simply because we have such lectures...
...matter of regret that the University has not the means to enable it to secure the delivery of a greater number of public lectures by men eminent as specialists or as writers, than at present. The opportunities offered at Johns Hopkins in this respect are far superior to those at Harvard, while at Cornell the instruction given by nonresident lecturers, is a prominent feature of the college curriculum. Harvard cannot take her just position as a university till free opportunities of this sort are offered. It is true that Boston, particularly by means of the Lowell Institute, partially fills this...

...committee stated that no game had been played without violation of rules this year, though the faculty had given a year's opportunity for improvement in this respect; they object to this condition of play; for men who will not play unfairly cannot win, at present. Mr. Curtis, '83, urged delay, that Harvard might influence the other colleges to modify the rules again, in the inter-collegiate convention. He proposed that three referees should be employed, and the various duties be divided up amongst them, one especially to warn for intentional unfair play, which should immediately disqualify without permitting...
...said that Mr. Watson, of the advisory committee, has promised to coach the crew occasionally. With all due respect to Mr. Watson's ability and past services, it must be said, that Mr. Bancroft is a better coach. This opinion, we think, has been held by the captains and crews during the last four years. Furthermore, Mr. Watson would probably not appear more than once in one or two weeks...
