...review of reviews. These notices are on the whole very well done, and the selection of the books to be criticized is good. One thing of some importance they prove: that there are in College numbers of students capable of giving an admirable summary of a book or an argument.

However, it is hoped that the Freshmen will not confine all their ideas to the prescribed pad. They can perform a real service to the University and to succeeding classes by co-operating with the Office in its attempt to arrange the new dormitories so as to satisfy all sorts of requirements.
