EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON :- Dear Sirs : The report of President Porter's recent lecture on European colleges and schools, as copied in the HERALDCRIMSON from the News, is likely to diffuse some very erroneous ideas respecting certain very important features of the English universities and schools, and I think you will not be unwilling to allow a little space for their correction. Let me premise however that it seems to me probable the News reporter may have misunderstood President Porter's remarks, as I should suppose a gentleman so eminent as a scholar and as the head of a great college...

The faculty have from time to time done much to increase our interest in morning prayers by improving the services, singing etc., but they seem to have forgotten a very important point-that even students need to be kept above a certain temperature if the interest is to be maintained. It has been all along a crying shame that the chapel has not been properly warmed on cold mornings and as a result of this neglect, there has been much distress of mind and body as well as some vigorous language...
