It may not be advisable to stop recitations for any and every little holiday peculiar to this section of the country, but when a day of national observance, like Washington's Birthday or Memorial Day, comes around, it certainly looks as if we too might take part in the observances which are the privilege of the humblest in the land. The example of a certain professor in the Law School, who notified his sections that he would not lecture Tuesday, as it was a legal holiday, is commendable...

This is owing in part to the negligence of those who take the papers from the shelves and fail to return them, but more, probably, to the laxity with which the laws of the library are observed. There are many persons who take advantage of the privilege of keeping reference books and periodicals over night, and then turn them to private purposes for a longer time.
