As cold weather approaches and the out-door world offers fewer and fewer attractions, we wish to submit a little advice to eighty-seven in particular and to the college in general that will be borne in mind all through the long winter and for that matter all through college. Get into the habit of using the library in a thoughtful, systematic, healthful way. It is comparatively easy to form habits that do not bring one into contact with books and especial care should be taken to correct this fault at the outset. Some special courses of reading as fiction or biography, followed out during a whole lerm or year, will probably give the best results, but few of us possess such a methodical turn of mind that we care to keep in the same rut very long at a time. Still whether one reads with some special end in view or does an indiscriminate skirmishing among the different departments, the principal thing is to read. In most cases some particular field will probably draw attention and make a merely general reading impossible. Above all read steadily; that is, do not draw out fifty books one month and only one or two the next. Find out how much you can digest and make an effort to accomplish that amount in a given time.
