...fails to return them within a few minutes of nine o'clock. He further says the fines imposed are too heavy, and that the new rule which prevents a man from transferring his privilege is unjust. On the last point the writer may have some ground for complaint; one often wishes to take out books in another man's name for some reason or other.

The musical talent in college seems to have been very limited, and the Pierian often had difficulty to maintain its existence. Thus we read in the Reminsicences of an Ex-Pierian that it was "reduced to a single active member, as was the case when Mr. G. held the meeting regularly alone, not forgetting, it is said, to put up the advertising board for his own sole notification each week, calling himself to order...
