During the winter the question of extending the library hours from five, till, say, nine in the evening, was considerably agitated by the students. What actually happened was a shortening of the hours to correspond with the shortening of the days, the obvious reason being to save the cost of lighting the building. Now that the days have grown longer, such a reason for closing early cannot exist. Would it not be well to keep the library open every day until, at least, sunset ? The reasons for doing so are many and good, and are perfectly obvious. It will...
...them. It would seem that the honor of delivering a commencement part would lead nearly all the rank list men to make a trial, but such is not the case. As yet, we believe, scarcely more than a dozen men have handed in their subjects for parts. It is obvious that the more parts the instructors have to choose from, the better will be the commencement exercises of '85. This one fact alone ought to induce more seniors to write in the hopes that they will thereby improve the exercises of their comencement day. Feeling that few realized the small...

Under the present arrangements, new books can be kept out for the regular period of four weeks, just as is the case with old books. It is obvious, however, that in the great majority of cases, new books are in a much greater demand than old books, and that the same rules should govern the distribution of both is manifestly unfair. In a number of public libraries where books are kept out regularly two weeks, all new books must...
...series of "scholarships" in athletics, very much as we have a system of scholarships for literary excellence. To explain: let us suppose that a man comes to Cornell with but a meagre allowance of cash, and mental abilities, but with a plentiful endowment of muscle. It is tolerably obvious that, under the old-time order of things, his progress to knowledge will be beset with difficulties of a financial nature. But under the new system no such hindrance exists. "Nous avons change tout cela, says Cornell, "A man may come to our college, poor, but deserving. What shall...
