We have a suggestion to make to the library authorities. The various American and English magazines and reviews play an important part in the forensic, special report, and debating courses here, especially where the topics chose have reference to modern legislation, political economy, literature, and other questions of the day. The library now takes but one copy of each of these magazines, and allows them to be kept out for one week. It has often happened that students are thus deprived of the use of these magazines for several weeks at a time, and changes in topics have not infrequently been necessary simply because a student could not get at the information he wanted. Therefore we suggest that two copies of each magazine, certainly of the more important ones, should be taken by the library. Then one copy can always be reserved and in reach of the students, while the other may be taken out as heretofore. We trust that this very reasonable suggestion may not fall on barren ground. No hindrances should be cast in the path of a student of Harvard college which the expenditure of a few dollars might dispense with.
