...practice of visitors to the Library of engaging in conversation when in the main hall or study-room has become so annoying that the authorities have been compelled to put a notice forbidding them to enter this room. Mere sight-seers are requested to view the inner hall through the glass doors of the Exhibition room, to which the class albums and all other objects of interest have been removed, and they can there be examined without disturbing any one.

...hold a proctorship. While agreeing that a change for the better can be made, we hope that the plan proposed, if we are rightly informed as to its aim, will not be adopted, because of its unjust discrimination.

The amateur, on the other hand, is free from these annoyances; he is supposed to enter into athletics from a gentlemanly desire to excel in them, and he commands the interest of all those who like to witness contests where there is no doubt of the earnestness and honesty of the competitors. This has hitherto made our intercollegiate rowing and base-ball and foot-ball take such...
