...student of the university who is not at the present time a member of the Co-operative Society, but who intends to join in the fall, may hand in lists of books which he wishes purchased during the summer...

This room communicates with the bathrooms, which are fitted up with all the modern conveniences, and it is thought that Turkish baths will soon be introduced. On the other side of the building is the statistician's room.

When, for example, we remember the wonderful "knacd" the poet Addison had of reeling off good hexameter verse, a "knack" not his alone, but common to most of the then students of average ability, we may form some idea of the system pursued...
