In regard to the many communications which we have received on the subject of lighting the library, we would say that it has annually been our custom to add our voice to the general hue and cry in this matter. It has always seemed to us the one great fault in the otherwise excellent management of the college library that a place which was avowedly built for the use of the students should be closed to them at the hour when the majority of men are in the mood for work. As our correspondent of to-day truly remarks, the afternoon is the only time we have for exercise. He might have added that the morning is generally taken up by recitations- or ought to be. This leaves only the evening for uninterrupted, steady work in the library. Particularly is complaint just on the part of those who wish to consult special reserved books. Under existing circumstances they have but little time for such consulation, since the books are necessarily limited to one or, perhaps, two copies, and "first come, first served" is the motto of the library. Consequently those who are really anxious to keep up with their work are rather disheartened when, day after day, they find the coveted reference book in some early bird's hand. Of course this cannot be directly helped, as the library cannot supply enough copies of every book to distribute to the whole college. But it does seems as if, with the money to do it and the advantage of all modern improvements, the proper authorities might have made an attempt to enlighten the library as well as the minds of the students.
