field in the coming season a thoroughly trained foot-ball team. MR EDITOR I would like to call the attention of the college authorities to the extreme danger of cutting off the supply of water from the main building at night and leaving it off until morning. Because the building was once slightly flooded, on account of some one carelessly leaving the water turned on, does not seem a very plausible reason for shutting off our only hope of safety, in case of fire. Should a fire break out in the building at night, much valuable time might be lost by the delay caused by finding the janitor in order to get water on the upper floors. We have night watchmen, I know, but yet I think that all will agree that in a building like ours, having, as it has, so many persons living in, it, it it is far safer to have a plentiful supply of water in case of fire at night.
