The attention of CRIMSON readers is called to Mr. W. C. Lane's article on the ways and means by which the College Library intends to cope with the increased demands made on it by the Reading Period. The mention of special rooms where one may find books relating to related courses is one good omen; the fact that books may be drawn therefrom for a limited period is another. Should the students show as much cooperation as has the Library one peril of the Period will be successfully met.

The latter part of Mr. Lane's comment is an excellent statement of the liberal policies of circulation which the Library has maintained. The confidence in general honesty displayed by the authorities has in a large measure been responsible for the efficient service of the institution. Having been granted a certain freedom the average student feels more or less obliged to prove himself worthy of the bequest. A further test of his worthiness will be found in the post-holiday weeks.
