Among a number of rather exasperating restrictions in the Harvard Library there is one which seems particularly without reason. I do not mean the rule which forbids you to remove the drawers from the card catalogue, although that frequently forces the reader to sprawl on the floor if he desires to consult the lower drawers, and often causes a considerable waste of time when some one else is using one of the drawers in the same column with the one which you wish to use.

Especially gratifying is the rule that drops bicycle racing from the regular list of events at the annual meeting, and gives to this form of sport a meet of its own. As the question of making such an arrangement was discussed at some length in this column a short time ago, it is not necessary to mention again the advantages that will be gained...
