...means the case. For instance, we have eight copies of Callender's "Economic History of the United States," lately published, three in Gore Hall and five in Harvard Hall; and we try, particularly by means of the large duplicate collection in Harvard Hall, to keep fairly abreast with the demand in the large courses. On the other hand, there are certain books which men are expected to buy for themselves and which we do not attempt to duplicate. There are, of course, others of which our supply of one or two copies is inadequate, and some such cases will doubtless...
...noticed in the Reading Room that the demand for any book is seldom much in excess of the supply, except during the thirty-six hours before work has to be handed in or reported on. If men would be a little more forehanded with their work, or would remember that when the Gore Hall copy of a work cannot be had, copies can often be found in Harvard Hall or in one of the other special libraries, the difficulty of supply would be much diminished...

The breadth of a market comprising the whole world, the continual shifting of trade, and the constant necessity of grasping unexpected opportunities, all combine to demand a man of exceptional ability and knowledge...

For this reason it is hoped that his generosity will meet with the enthusiastic recepton which it deserves. That this desire will in a large measure be fulfilled is assured by the unusual demand for tickets, which up to last evening far exceeded the supply. For this reason the Deutscher Verein management announces that no more tickets will be issued and also that the public will not be admitted at 7.55 o'clock as was previously announced. No one will be admitted without ticket...
