...seems to be highly fashionable at present to criticise the management of our excellent Library. Why this should be so just when such great changes and improvements are making, whereas no one used to complain of the time honored inconveniences under the last regime, we cannot imagine: we hope it is because there is greater interest in the question; but even this reason cannot excuse such a superfluity of ingenious fault-finding. Doubtless its defects have been more evident this year to the mass of students, because they have used it so much more; but anybody who knows other libraries...

The superiority of Princeton's canvas-jackets over our Jerseys was very manifest...
...publish in another column a list of students' letters remaining in the office. The postman urges the necessity of sending in addresses immediately, in order to insure prompt delivery of mail; unless students do this, they have no right to complain that their mail fails to reach them...
