NEVER PUT OFF

In connection with the demand for old examinations, which comes twice a year, is another demand which deserves the attention of librarians now. The constantly changing nomenclature of courses in the various departments has led to mild confusion in the use of the examinations that have been placed on reserve. If some young librarian were to closet himself in the bowels of Widener with an armful of catalogues and emerge sometime before June with an accurate list of what courses used to be and are now, a whole generation of Harvard men would rise up and call him blessed.

One other suggestion might be made at this time. Assurances that sufficient copies of examinations will be available in future Januaries would be made doubly certain if the University began to collect them at once. For the examinations that exist in over-abundance at the time they are given have a way of vanishing in the course of the next few weeks.
