I wish to warn men against leaving their overcoats exposed in the gymnasium. A few days before Thanksgiving a heavy overcoat was stolen from the books back of the new lockers and some three weeks before that time another overcoat was taken.

In view of such a condition of affairs would it be unreasonable to demand of the gymnasium authorities a system of checking overcoats and umbrellas similar to the one in use at the library.

A SUFFERER.
