Plans for a great winter carnival, which will even surpass that of last year, have been announced by the Dartmouth Outing Club for the three days, February 10, 11 and 12.

Although students here are as fond of reading as those across the sea, there are no counterparts in this country of book stores near Charing Cross, London, or those of Oxford and Cambridge, or the cases of books along the Seine. Here even the library stacks are closed to students, and yet one of the surest ways to become interested in books is to go directly to well-stocked shelves and to discover unknown titles and authors...
