...form one index to show student work. Here are over 300,000 volumes and a third as many pamphlets which are here for use. They are not kept like the old lady's umbrella, which she boasted she had had for twenty-seven years, "and it's never been wet yet." Some libraries are kept like that. But here they wish to see books worn out, so far as honest use will wear them. New atlases, dictionaries, encyclopedias, speedily grow ragged, and the bookbinder has a tremendous bill every month...
...Score 10.0. Dewey ran out from twenty-yard line and Perry carried the ball back on kick of Graham to twenty-yard line. Boyden advanced ten yards. On fumble, Bancroft secured a touchdown.

It is better to know less and be able to express it in the blue book than to know more, and be too muddled and tired to remember it. This working until breakfast with a wet towel around your head is very romantic when you tell it to your sympathizing lady friends, but it is of no use in actual practise. Finally don't study up to the last moment. Take a good breakfast then take a shave and a quiet smoke between...
