 pThe report in the newspapers this of the misconduct of students at the fire last evening and the arrest of some who were soon bailed out on names. leads me to make suggestion to you as police commission CTS which have long had in mind. If adopted, it seems to me, it will have more effect to prevent disorderly con duct by students than any other one 
 The trouble arises chiefly because a | student can cover up his identity by | an assumed name. Under this he slzips | his bail and not being known cannot | be re-arrested-or pays his small fine in the city court, being still unknown, and the college faculty being particu- | arly careful not inquire him out.
 My suggestion is that the police com missioners instruct the police to hold | every studen arrested until he has been | identified and his real name given by | some member of the faculty or other | person known to the police | officer in charge. And that his real | name and residence and that only be entered on the police books and com nunicated to the public.
 The fear of such exposure would do nore to check trouble from students han dozen arrests under the present practice.
