According to the rule which is posted conspicuously, the time for closing the library is one half an hour before sunset. The time of the sunset is now about 4.45. The authorities of the library, however, closed the outer door last Monday at only a few minutes after four, and students who went directly from the recitation room at four o'clock, in order to get reserved books, were refused admittance. It is bad enough not to have the use of the library during the long evenings, simply because our rich university will not find the funds to light...
...shame-faced and cowardly and too often unwilling to raise its voice where deeper matters are concerned. This passivity of public opinion here is the great obstacle to investing our students with power, and one of the most damaging things to the college in the eyes of the outer world.

In higher forms we discern the germ of the nervous system, and later, a keen appreciation of the outer world. But no trace is visible of sympathy, ("the going out of the mind into fields of life beyond it self"), until we reach those animals in which the sexes are distinguished. The sexual and parental instinct is the beginning of sympathy. In the lower forms in which this instinct is distinguished...
