...long run, there is a great deal in our leading dailies that well repay careful reading, and preservation. At present these articles are buried in the ponderous, rarely opened volumes in the basement of the library. By the plan under consideration, all that is valuable in American and foreign papers can be collected, placed in a compact form, and properly indexed. All must realize the value of Poole's Index. The plan of "M" would in the end prove a still more valuable aid to many students in their daily work. To those who are doing original work in historical...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.-A plan has been proposed of placing in the library reading-room a careful selection of newspaper articles upon the most important topics of current interest. These articles are to be clipped from all the best American and from the leading English journals, to be arranged under proper heads, and then to be pasted in scrap books, each of which will be devoted to a separate subject.

He begged that the rule whereby college men or graduates were chosen to serve as judges at the finish, should be annulled. He thought they were liable to be prejudiced when a close contest occurred, and thus injustice might be suffered by participants...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.-Although there have been many clubs lately formed in college, of which my class has formed several, I think there is still room for another one. The American Ornithologist's Union has lately issued appeals throughout the country for facts concerning the migration of different birds, among them our most familiar visitors. An ornithologist's club here could do a good deal in the way of observation, could gain many interesting facts concerning the fauna of the neigh borhood; and its collections either of nests and eggs, or of skins, would prove a welcome addition...
