Pardon me for reviving that threadbare subject of lights in the library. My only excuse is that of treating the question from a new point of view. It is, I believe, admitted beyond all doubt that the project of lighting the library by electricity is feasible. Two years ago, if I mistake not, money was subscribed, and we were just on the point of gaining our longed-for lights, when the authorities for some unknown reason gave up the idea and the money was returned. I think I am not wrong in these assertions, This being the case, the only step remaining is to persuade the overseers to give their consent. Now why not use that democratic privilege, petition? Our prayer petitions were gravely considered and they were finally successful. Why then, should we not petition the overseers for lights in the library? I would have a systematic canvas of the college, as in the case of the prayer petitions, and when we present to the overseers a reasonable petition signed by every man in college, the board can not do less than give a thoughtful consider to a request so unanimously presented
