We snub the library, but maintain silence when we are informed that "you can get in, even after four o'clock."

But the reproach of indifference can no longer be justly made against us. The age of change is at hand. We have a Chess club. Not long ago the members of '88 who are interested in chess, initialed into life what they imagined would be known as the Chess Club of '88.
