Editors Daily Crimson:

It is one of our privileges as students of Harvard college to enjoy exceptional advantages in regard to libraries. Besides the central, we have several special ones, of which the most important is perhaps, the Evans political economy library. This is used daily by a large number of men, and is especially crowded at this season of examinations. But now when every one is busy and depends on being able to turn quickly to various reference books, it is announced that several volumes have disappeared. It seems hardly possible that any Harvard man should be guilty of so ungentlemanly and inconsiderate an action as deliberately taking these books from the room and keeping them for his own use contrary to the regulations; but there seems to be no other solution of their disappearance. It is disagreeable to have to characterize such actions even as inconsiderate, but it seems to require stronger words, for it amounts to nothing more nor less than stealing, I am sorry to have to call your attention to such a flagrant ahuse of privileges as some man is guilty of, but hope that a widespread knowledge of the facts may lead to an effective check upon such action in the future.
