We are sorry to have to call attention once more to the conduct of men who use the reading-room in the library as a place for discussion and conversation. There are two men in particular, - we could name them if we wished to, - who regularly disturb half the room every morning by their loud discussions on athletics and recitations. We have often remarked on the selfishness of such conduct which is all the more inexcusable as the reading-room is to many men the only place in college where they are able to secure anything like absolute quiet. To such men, noise and laughter in such a place are a great annoyance and a very serious one. We beg all men who are thoughtless enough to disturb their mates in this way, to be considerate in the future. We would also advise the Library authorities to provide chairs in the reading-room with rubber caps on the feet as is the case in most recitation rooms; this would obviate another great cause of annoyance, by making the squeaking of chairs impossible.
