...wish to call particular attention to the circular recently put forth by Professor Child in reference to the collection of ballads that is in course of preparation by him, - a work which we doubt not will reflect great honor both on the author and on the College. It is of the highest importance that this edition should be complete, and to this end the co-operation of all persons interested is extremely important. In our column of Brevities we publish the directions which Mr. Child has given for the prosecution of this work. There are, doubtless, many people of Irish...

It is a matter of concern to us all, and no sentimental idea of College honor should shield the thief; as soon as he is found, not only should he be excluded from all use of the Library (which undoubtedly will be done), but also the College papers, by publishing his name, should give him all the publicity and notoriety he deserves...
