EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- At the Glee Club concert last Friday evening there was a great deal of complaint about the way the programmes were distributed. A great many who came in late were unable to get any, as all of those that had been placed in the seats were taken.

In the first place the danger from fire is great. Gore Hall itself-I do not speak of the wing containing the stack-is anything but fire-proof. It is, perhaps, not generally known, that those apparently substantial columns in the waiting-room are in reality hollow...
