CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON: -

YOUR last issue contained an interesting and amusing communication relative to the stained-glass window in Memorial Hall. The author of that communication confesses his ignorance of the character which the design was intended to represent, although the name of Sir Philip Sidney was inscribed on the window, and mistakes that pensive individual for the Chevalier Bayard who was destined to occupy the other half of the double window.

As to the present whereabouts of the departed worthy, all that can be said is that he is reposing in the shop of the manufacturer. The placing of this window in the Dining Hall was merely an experiment, and as the window did not meet the hopes of the graduates who intended to give it to the University, as regards either its artistic worth or its usefulness, it was sent back to the makers in New York.

It is surprising that Memorial Hall does not furnish more material for effusions in the College papers than is at present utilized. To be sure, the Lampoon prints occasionally disgusting and exaggerated pictures of manners at the Dining Hall, the Advocate inquires once in a while if the omission of Veritas from the western window is intentionally sarcastic, and the Crimson inserts in its columns, when they are not very full, little essays on "Memorial Hall as a Match-box." But the wonder is that no one writes "A Dream in Sanders Theatre," or "A Midnight Adventure in the Tower." These suggestions are offered for what they are worth; the writer's only hope is that contributors to College papers will not descend to the barbarism of writing "Memorial."

DION.
