...they are now? No better time for alterations could be had than during the summer months, when by a moderate expenditure the Corporation could relieve the University of a condition of things which reflects no credit upon it. It seems a pity to let the opportunity pass since the delay only postpones what must inevitably be done within a very short time...
Some members of Ninety three are still delaying to fill out the Class Lives blanks. Delay in attending to this simply imposes more work upon the Secretary. He must have the "Life" of every member of the class, as an incomplete record is hardly better than no record at all. The collection of the "Lives" is not, as many seem to think, a mere matter of form. for the statistics, etc., compiled from them and embodied in the Secretary's reports are very interesting and useful; and it is imperative that the whole class should be represented. Delinquents are urged...

For example the last number of the Revue Encyclopedique that is now in the reading room is that for Feb. 15: the number for Mar. 15 is due. Such delay is certainly avoidable; for even the Nouvelle Revue, a persistently late magazine, reaches Boston regularly at least a week before we have it here. Cannot such an abuse, detracting as it does from the interest and usefulness of these periodicals...
