EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :- The complaint made in Wednesday's CRIMSON about the library is one about which every man feels only too strongly. Now that the days are so short, the time which the library can be used is extremely limited. The light in the reading-room is too meagre to admit of reading after half-past four o'clock, and often even earlier on cloudy afternoons. This cuts off an hour and a half from the scanty time allowed under the most favorable circumstances. It is not sufficient, however, to have the whole afternoon; a man is more inclined to reading in the evening than earlier in the day, when exercise and recreation call him out of doors. I shall not take more time adding to the arguments in favor of having the library lighted in the evening, but wish to suggest that some active measures be taken to convince the faculty of our earnestness in this matter. If a petition signed, as it certainly would be, by every man in the University, were presented to the faculty, perhaps they would consent to give us lights in the reading-room at least.
