...student life is not what it used to be. One such article in a recent number of the "Graduates Magazine" points out the sad lack of private libraries among students, and the resulting traffic in second hand textbooks which flourishes on the Square. The undergraduate no longer dines in quiet with a few "kindred spirits", nor sits comfortably before a bed of coals glowing in his small grate.

And of course at a late hour comes an appeal from an unexpected friend of the family; she usually wants a nice quiet room near the Campus, not a boarding house; nor too expensive, where she can get her meals comfortably.
