...glad to be able to announce to those interested in the reading-room that the success of the project is now assured. The fact that the Harvard Union has appointed a committee to take charge of the matter is a guarantee that the reading-room will be established, and we think that the action of the Union will be much appreciated. The advantages of a reading-room are undeniably great, and we do not doubt that the reading-room will prove a great success...

It has long been our belief that all the provisions regarding the system of petitions should be abolished, and we shall not feel able to regard the revision of the regulations a success if this change has not been made. We naturally feel no little regret at not having received a prospectus of this new edition, whereby we might learn it special superiority to the old, but having only the old regulations before us, we cannot venture to recommend the recent version. We merely...
