Mutual recriminations were exchanged between the court and the popular parties; until finally in 1623 a formal complaint, embodying charges of a serious nature, was laid before the Privy Council. A masterly reply, drawn up by Sandys, Cavendish and Ferrar, was made to these charges, but the Privy Council refused it consideration. In vain did the king try to bring evidence damaging to the Company. The settlers themselves were entirely satisfied. Bribes were tried, but unsuccessfully...
Permit me to use your paper to make a much-needed complaint against the wretched ventilation in our lecture and recitation rooms. I have, however, special reference to Lower Massachusetts during History 13 today. During the entire hour every window-and these windows are the only means of ventilation-was tightly closed, causing the air to be almost stifling.

In an editorial in the CRIMSON ten years ago a serious complaint was made with regard to this very thing. It does not appear that any lasting change for the better has been made since that time, and now owing to great increase in numbers, the situation has become infinitely worse. It is not a matter that can be put aside until...
