...quite surprising to see what great advantages a student at one of our great universities enjoys in regard to the use of libraries. We are very much inclined to complain of not having the necessary facilities in this direction, but comparison, which teaches so many things, may also teach as to be quite contented with our lot. While staying in Berlin for a few months, I had occasion to get some books out of the Royal Library. Not being a matriculated student, I had tremendous difficulty in getting the necessary permission from one of those demigods - an assistant librarian. When...

Last year the freshman eleven began playing at three, played steadily till four against a second freshman team, and then played from half an hour to an hour against the university. This year eighty-nine makes no use at all of the hour between three and four, so that they play but one hour a day as against the two that eighty-eight played. Moreover, the freshmen do not turn out in anything like sufficient numbers. There ought to be fifteen or twenty men out every...
