EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- There is no reason why we should not have fire escapes on the college dormitories, because the risk that men run is more than most people imagine. Take Weld for instance. If a fire should break out in one of the lower stories, where would the man on the fifth story be? The stairways are made of wood, and wood is one of the most inflammable substances known to the practical world. What would he be compelled to do if he should see the stairs all ablaze below? He would either have to jump at the risk of his life or be roasted alive. The college authorities ought to take some step to remedy this fault. It they do not, they will, perhaps, experience some catastrophe that will open their eyes.
