...space now given to the reading-room is small, noisy, and poorly lighted. In its place we shall have the whole of the old hall, including the alcoves; and this will be lighted from above as well as from larger windows at the ends. The present noise will cease when the workmen are withdrawn; and we shall then have a roomy, quiet reading-room, where work will no longer be at the risk of blindness...
ABOUT once a week some exchange editor finds it his duty to read the editors of certain college papers a lecture on the amount of space they devote to athletics.

The next remarkable thing is the large amount of space it devotes to matters which have to do with no College at all. The last number contains a synopsis of the libretto of "Tannhuser," which at Hanover is spelt with only one n; an account of a palace-car journey from Boston to St. Paul's, Minnesota, in which we learn that Buffalo is "a place of great commercial interest and a great entrepot for the grain...
