The old complaint that Massachusetts Hall is insufficiently warmed has arisen again as it always does at this time. Year after year the students have been compelled to sit and shiver in that antique structure when they are being examined, and year after year they have asked that by some means or other the place be made more inhabitable. It is not conducive to a high standard to give men their examinations in a room whose temperature is about that of a refrigerator. Most men do not get so heated by brain work that they need an atmosphere well down towards zero in which to be comfortable. And yet this seems to be the theory on which Massachusetts is heated-or rather left unheated. It does not seem to be an extravagant demand to ask that this hall be kept warmed hereafter whenever men are compelled to take a three hours examination in it. On the contrary it seems a reasonably wish to be comfortable under such circumstances.
