Presently I saw a resident graduate who attends the course, enter the Library with a pile of books under his arm, and calmly put the two in question on the shelves. Since this happens once, it probably happens often, and I think it perfectly fair to extend to all your readers the benefit of my accidental discovery; or, rather, I should think it unfair not to do so. The disregard of conventionalities is probably...
