The deplorable congestion at Gore Hall might be largely relieved if the full resources of the subsidiary libraries were available and made a matter of general knowledge to the undergraduates. At present there are various requirements for membership in these libraries. For example, in some cases, special applications signed by department officers are necessary; and the hours at which the subsidiary...
