Some time ago a communication was published which advocated the inauguration of a system by which the daily papers might be utilized by the management of the library to the advantage of the students. We hope that the recommendation will be followed. For this want of a speedy and easy reference to recent newspaper publications has long been felt, and a plan to meet it successfully would greatly be appreciated by the students. Many valuable newspaper articles bearing upon topics of great moment are practically lost from the present inefficient means for preserving them. When such articles have become history, they have an additional value which is only too often enhanced by their peculiar propensity for never appearing when sought. We cannot take too great care to preserve the current literature of great national topics, and we hope that some plan for the preservation of such articles, may be adopted by the management of the library.
