...when in college, as a rule, will accept few advantages which they are not forced to, and also that after graduation they, with as few exceptions, thoroughly regret this neglect. Especially is this true of contributing to the college papers. Leaving out of consideration the benefit to those who later in life take to journalism as a profession, the practice in putting one's thoughts into such form as shall interest others is of incalculable advantage. We may have the materials for the best thinkers of the age in our midst, but they take no trouble to bring out their...

EDITIORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-I saw in your paper this morning an editorial about cold examination halls in Massachusetts. An hour or two later I was working at an examination in Sever 37. I am sorry to say that much the same fault might be found with that room as with Massachusetts. We shivered a large part of the morning because one of the windows perched near the roof could not be closed by any means.
