THE USE OF LIBRARY BOOKS.

Many of the courses in the University require a considerable amount of outside or prescribed reading, and the Library very naturally can only offer a limited number of identical volumes. If the reading assigned were done early, all would be well; but the tendency of the majority is to put the task as far away as possible. Consequently, the day or the night before the examination, a great number of students flock to the Library, and many are disappointed and chagrined when they find it impossible to obtain the desired copy. The only remedy for this condition is to do one's work soon after it is assigned, and if this suggestion is followed higher scholarship and greater satisfaction to all will ensue.
