...themselves as the misuse of books provided by the University libraries. We refer to the way in which some men, - their number we are sure is not large, - appropriate reserved books to their own uses with absolute disregard of the convenience of their fellow students. Perhaps this is too mild a criticism of a man who takes from the shelves a greater number of books than his immediate needs require and gloats over his ill-gotten gains in some obscure alcove.

"On Beacon Hill," by A. C. Train is, as its author calls it, a sketch...
...been circulated and have created a feeling of alarm among the students and have lead to anxious inquiries on the part of parents and guardians. There is no occasion for any anxiety whatever. There are but very few cases of serious illness and there is no greater amount of mild sickness than is usual in any New England community in the month of April...
