such conditions. There is also a law
on the statute books of the state of
Michigan which makes it a criminal
offense to lock the exits of any theatre,
auditorium or public hall. The act of
locking the doors of Barbour gymnasi-
um was not only extreme carelessness
but a direct violation of a state law.
There is no justification for such an
act and, the university authorities, who
are responsible for the welfare of the
students, should take measures which
would prevent the recurrence of so
dangerous a practice.

An Old Story.
It is an old and probably tiresome
story of the man who did not know
that 'the gun was loaded and the at-
tendants who closed theaters and au-
ditorium exits, because they did not
think that there was any occasion for
a fire or a panic. Yet from both of
these causes has resulted a loss!
of life that is appalling and that should
serve as a -glaring example to those
who have charge of affairs on such oc-
casions. Hardly a week pass's but
we read of some frightful accident due
to the locking of exits. These object
lessons should serve some purpose,
especialy when people of supposed'
enlightenment are responsible. Yet
this was not the case last week dur-
ing a course of medical lectures for
girls.
During these lectures, which every
girl student was required to attend,
Sarah Caswell' Angell hall was crowd-
ed to its utmost capacity. The exits
of this hall are bad enough, especially
from the balcony, when conditions are
normal but, when the hall is crowded,
there is constant congestion at these
points.'
Yet, during these lectures, and es-
pecially on Friday afternoon, all of
the doors were locked, including the
only exterior exit, leading to the cam-
pus. The only means of leaving were
locked. The girls were probably in a
highly nervous state and, apart from
the danger of fire, which is not small,
there was constant and imminent peril
of a panic or stampede. ' %
- Girls who came five minutes late
were informed through the outer door,
which was locked, that the hall was
too crowded to admit them, despite'
the fact that they had been summoned
to attend. The persons in charge also
informed them that the door could not
be opened.
There is a moral law which demands
that we treat our fellow creatures
justly, and it is not just to lock several
hundred girls in a small hall under
Doesn't the sight of that excavation
work make you begin to dream how
you'll trip lightsomely up to the plat-
form for that 1913 diploma?
