Obeying a summons to the Dean's Office means waiting fifteen minutes or two hours on a very anxious seat. There is a variety of unnecessary inconvenience both to the office and to the students under present conditions: the Dean's hours are dragged out well beyond their schedule; men frequently spend an entire morning arranging to answer their office-calls; and finally, the scheme of a waiting list seems unfair to a man who has only one hour in which he can visit the office, and when he arrives, finds ten or twelve names which must take precedence over his. It would probably simplify and accelerate the office affairs if each man summoned were given a specific time to call, so arranged as not to interfere with his other college engagements.
