HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Students who make use of the Gymnasium shower-baths are obliged at present to furnish their own towels. This means that clean towels must be carried to the Gymnasium, and later removed for the purpose of being laundered. The system at many other colleges is better. At Yale, notably, there is an arrangement which might well be instituted here. Towels are rented at the gymnasium office. For twenty-five cents a man receives ten coupons, each entitling him to a towel. Used towels are collected and sent to the laundry by the man in charge. The price of laundering can thus be cheapened considerably, because of the number of towels to be sent.
It is quite possible that such an arrangement would net a profit to the Gymnasium--at worst, the system would be self-supporting. However, whether profitable or not, the real convenience, which this plan would afford to those who use the Gymnasium seems enough to justify its adoption.
