Most men do not get so heated by brain work that they need an atmosphere well down towards zero in which to be comfortable. And yet this seems to be the theory on which Massachusetts is heated-or rather left unheated. It does not seem to be an extravagant demand to ask that this hall be kept warmed hereafter whenever men are compelled to take a three hours examination in it.
