EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: After the mid-years nearly all books reserved for English courses and Sophomore Rhetoric were taken from the alcove in the reading-room. Now I suggest that a selection of the best English and American authors be made by the librarian or other competent person, and that these books be placed in some alcove. Many students, having a half hour or more of leisure, would enjoy looking over such books, whereas now we have to go through a process of red tape often consuming ten minutes, at the end of which time we are liable to be informed that the book we wish is "out." I do not suggest that the books be reserved - not at all; only let them be accessible, just as the "new books" are. If more English books of the first grade were within easy reach at all times, the students would be much more familiar with standard English and American authors than at present.

'85.
