The last University Calendar contained a piece of information of interest to all students who use the library. Hereafter that building will be closed in the afternoons during the winter half an hour before sunset. There is no doubt that this order is, in itself, for the best. The library is a very dark place, and to study in it towards sunset, is doubtless very injurious to the eyes. But this decrease in the amount of time available for using Gore Hall only brings to mind again the need of lighting the building after dark. Why should the usefulness of this branch of the University cease at half an hour before sunset every day during the long winter when it can be of most service? This is simply a reminder to the powers that be.
