According to the rule which is posted conspicuously, the time for closing the library is one half an hour before sunset. The time of the sunset is now about 4.45. The authorities of the library, however, closed the outer door last Monday at only a few minutes after four, and students who went directly from the recitation room at four o'clock, in order to get reserved books, were refused admittance. It is bad enough not to have the use of the library during the long evenings, simply because our rich university will not find the funds to light the building, but to have the time in which the library can be used made shorter than the rules require deserves stronger condemnation. The policy of the library authorities in closing the library at this early hour is to prevent students from abusing their eyesight. Will not this end be accomplished if the reading-room is closed at the regulation time for reading purposes, but the library open until 4.30 for the delivery of books?
