In a letter sent to all members of the Union, the Library Committee has requested co-operation in an attempt to check the systematic borrowing or stealing of books which has taken place this year. Of actual thefts no comment is necessary other than the expression of a hope that the perpetrators will eventually be ascertained. The individuals, however, who borrow or hide books which are much in demand may be amenable to reason and to a recognition of the rights of fellow members. Recently a certain book was prescribed in Philosophy E. Immediately the volume disappeared from the library, and not until after the class had been examined on the reading it contained, did it appear in its usual place on the shelves. Exactly the same thing occurred in the case of a prescribed book in Government 1 and there are many similar instances in the past. Surely, therefore, if the Union Library is to be of service to its members, some steps must be taken to prevent this selfish and obnoxious practice. We understand that the Library Committee are very eager to get suggestions from members, and we take this occasion to ask undergraduates to give some thought to a solution of this disgraceful and annoying situation.
