UNVENTILATED LECTURE ROOMS.

With the second half-year only one week under way, complaints are already being heard about stuffy, unventilated recitation rooms. After a period of examinations, many of which were held in rooms so cold that we could scarcely hold our pens, we are now compelled to sit by the hour in an atmosphere that makes accurate attention well-high impossible. It would be better to sit in our overcoats with good air, than to be suffocated at our work.

The responsibility for this state of affairs rests to no small extent with the lecturers themselves. In those rooms where there is no forced ventilation, and in the many where ventilation is inadequate, the only way that the air may be kept at all fresh is by a judicious use of the windows. If the lecturers and instructors would only give the matter a little personal attention, instead of relying on the chance public spirit of some member of the course, they would find the attention accorded their remarks noticeably improved.
