MODERN IMPROVEMENTS.

Any up-to-date improvements, installed in the College buildings in or about the Yard, are welcomed by the undergraduates as a move in the direction of making our time-honored buildings as livable as their modern rivals, even if the alternations are put in entirely as a business proposition. Such additions all help toward making the dormitories what we hope sometime to see them-a center of University activity that will be sought by all the undergraduates, because they are fully as convenient as the modern houses and possess the added attraction of historic association. When that time comes it will be possible to organize undergraduate life along more concentrated lines. And the CRIMSON believes that "in union there is strength."

So we welcome the improvements in Holyoke House that the University plans to make during the coming summer. As a convenient center the advantages of the building have never been fully realized; with an elevator and a steam heating plant the chief objections to it will have been removed.
