Letter-Boxes

It has been suggested that it will be a great convenience to the students to have letter-boxes placed in each entry at their own expense, so that the postman can collect our letters as he goes on each of his rounds. Perhaps the number of boxes that would be necessary is an objection to this plan; but it would be a great advantage to have some place for mailing letters that would be more convenient than the Post-Office. Why should not an official letter-box be placed under the bulletin-board that has been raised for the weather-reports? Some persons have expressed a fear that our embryo Thomassens would exercise their boyish propensities for mischief on the letter-box instead of on the much-enduring drain; but public opinion against their wanton mischief would be much stronger if our own personal convenience were to be interfered with. To obtain this improvement, it would, we suppose, be necessary to present a petition to the Post-Office authorities, and we hope that the suggestion will soon be adopted.
