Several years ago a slot was put in Widener for books returned at night, but owing to lack of use, it was shortly removed. This method of returning books was kept, however, in the Freshman Library, and became increasingly popular up to last year, when it went the way of the old library building. The present demand for application of some such system to the University Library shows that it has now become genuinely useful. Not only would it be a great convenience for students, but it would much facilitate the borrowing of books from the reading rooms...

He favors the clean cut separation of power between executive and quasi-judicial bodies...
...suggestion of the revival of Memorial Hall as an eating-place is particularly noteworthy, since in former years this hall served as a commons for college men but ultimately failed due to lack of support. Students declared that the gloomy atmosphere of the building was unpleasant. Another alternative mentioned in the questionnaire is the establishment of various small eating clubs. This suggestion represents a decided improvement over the first. The genial atmosphere of such places would do much to ensure the success of this plan. But even this solution, which can affect only a few students leaves much...
