...University of Pennsylvania is to have a new library building, and the ambitious intention is to make it capable of holding no less than 330,000 volumes. Some $50,000 is already in hand to start the work, and now the university people are hoping to be able to attach to the building an alumni hall something like Sanders Theatre, where all the public exercises of the institution can be held and classical plays by students rendered.- Tribune...

The over-night use by the 'Annex' of books which have been reserved for the special use of our own students is confined to such...
...free man, because he is free, may make himself a slave; but once a slave, because he is a slave, he cannot make himself free. Perhaps in this way we may be able to reconcile individual liberty with universal law. For if the will, being a spiritual activity, can attach itself, by virtue of its native strength and energy, to any of the things presented to it by the intellect, before any of these things has power to draw or coerce it at all,-then is the will free and answerable for its choice: then may we understand...
