The number of men not in any way connected with the university, who manage to worm their way into the basement of the gymnasium to see the tug-of-war teams practice, and the base ball men playing in the cage is a source of annoyance to the students themselves, and to the director. Seeing to what an extent the privileges of the gymnasium were abused, Dr. Sargent one afternoon last week, ordered all not dressed in gymnasium costumes to retire from the basement. We hope that this action will be continued in the future, and loafers, and strangers strictly forbidden access to the private portions of the building during the hours of exercise. Not only are such persons, even if perfectly innocent, in the way, but in case they are bent on evil purposes, the chances of success are too great in a large building like the Hemmenway Gymnasium. Sneak thieves have too often plied their trade there, and all efforts by the authorities to rid the building of unknown persons will meet with the hearty approval of the students.
