...because there is supposed to be something indelicate in them, - the ordinary reason, I presume, - is nothing but silly prudery. Any student who wishes to take a book out on account of its improper character will certainly not be injured in his morals by reading it; and those who call for these books, as most students do, because they really want them are often put to some trouble and expense to obtain the books elsewhere than at the Library. We cannot conceive how any sensible person could object to a student's using some of the books that...
...course, in studying books of our own or even of the Library, it does little harm, and sometimes much good, to call attention to the important passages by a pencil-mark. But in works of fiction many dash their pencils recklessly along a paragraph that strikes their fancy at the moment. This is almost always done when alone in a sort of friendly social feeling toward the next reader, and because there is no one present to share the reader's delight!

One would naturally suppose that the students who bear the expense, and without whose money the race could not be accomplished, would have been consulted in the matter before the challenge was sent; but such a proceeding would not have been in accordance with the dignity which the Directors...
...attentive listening I found this to be the lamentation of a select body of young men (being all spoiled children, they call themselves the S. Poils Society) over the shortcomings of their fellow-men (cribbing, cutting, etc.). This was getting too depressing to stand. I was not a pessimist then, and had no sympathy with this idea of total degeneration. I endeavored to cheer up by warbling "Landlord, fill the flowing bowl," but, as I don't sing, the result was n't encouraging. Without a word of remonstrance I left the room...
