...small to print these free of cost, a small charge, to cover the cost of editing and printing, would not be burdensome and would be repaid tenfold by the trouble saved. For our library, there might be an account of how to find files of papers, where certain large reference books and maps are kept, the bound volumes of the college papers, the alcoves assigned to the various instructors, how to use the card catalogues most quickly, the method of taking out reserved books, all the various regulations of the library, including the privileges allowed students pursuing special courses...
...certain phase of the question of women's education, as viewed from a certain standpoint, is exemplified in the quotation in another column from an English article on the subject of the "Girl Graduate." We cannot but think the point of view there taken, and the conclusions implied however, exceedingly narrow.

We think it is manifestly unfair for andinstructor to hold one without at least two weeks warning, and not as recently,-with a paltry forty-eight hours of grace to the unfortunate section. This should be an unalterable rule; the next important...
...system. However this may be it does not change the question of fact. But there is something else to be said in favor of the hour examination besides that it gives the instructor valuable information about the work of his section. There can be no doubt that in a certain measure it helps many of the less studious by virtually forcing them to make up back work and to prepare themselves, at least superficially, upon the subject in question. This, however, is all we can say in its favor, and on reviewing the question we seriously think that hour examinations...
