...room, and should in no way encourage their voluntary efforts. The sum, it is true, is not large, but it is not easy to raise among students who find so many subscription-papers awaiting them; and were it not for the energetic efforts of a few men who generously spend much time and labor in the cause, the college would be without a reading-room. With but few changes, and only slight additional expense, the Library could take this burden upon itself.

Let Spider spend all his evenings with Socrates and Plato, if he will. I am content to give a few of mine to some modern dramatist at the Museum, or to a little philosophy which might puzzle Socrates himself...
