Communication.

We invite all members of the University to contribute to this column, but we are not responsible for the sentiments expressed.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

A communication appeared in your columns before the Christmas recess setting forth the advantages of a series of afternoon lectures open to the members of the University and their friends. Such a scheme has much to commend it, and ought not to be lightly dismissed. Popular lectures at a convenient hour of the day would be an agreeable and legitimate addition to our University curriculum and could not fail to attract widespread interest. The audiences at evening lectures and readings are necessarily limited to members of the University and the Cambridge public. Vespers and the glass flowers are at present the only attractions for other friends of the University. It is to be hoped that those who have this matter in hand will succeed in their efforts to provide at Harvard a course of lectures such as is already established at many of the larger colleges and universities.
