It is a common plea that it is impossible to spend so much time and do justice to other subjects; but this is a very feeble excuse; for if one were only to take account of the time he wastes each day, it would be found to be many times more than the one hour spent profitably in the manner described. It is another common excuse that there is no use in hearing Homer and Virgil over again when they were learned so thoroughly before coming to college. But they were not then, we claim, understood; they...

Yet in each class a few men are to be found who think it necessary to their own reputations to exhibit their superiority, - a thing which they do in the manner most natural to themselves. Of late years the same class pride which used to favor the obnoxious practice has been enlisted on the side of law and order.

...Library was moved to Gore Hall; and on the death of Mr. Thaddeus W. Harris, Mr. Sibley filled his place as Librarian. On taking charge of the Library there were found to be 41,000 volumes, with the Hollis and Shapleigh Fund of $5,000, which yielded for the purchase of books an income of only $250 per annum. Now there are 164,000 plus volumes, with a permanent fund of $170,000. During his administration there have been, among lesser ones, the donations of the Pickman, Walker, Wales, and Sumner libraries, besides the William Gray Fund...
