By the will of the late benefactor of our University almost one-half of his estate is given to the college library. That it should have occurred to the minds of many of the students that now it is possible to light Gore Hall in the evening shows no mark of indecent haste. We shall not therefore consider that the question of lighting the library by means of the recent bequest is an unfit one for our columns.

We feel that we voice the sentiments of all the students in this University when we say that the reform which is most needed at Harvard is one that will extend the use of the library to the late afternoon and evening. We put in our plea thus early, hoping that the college authorities will realize that what we say is heartfelt and sincere.
