...consideration of the manner or method of accomplishing the long awaited improvement, we cannot see any other means of attaining success in the matter than by unanimous and determined action upon the part of the students. The approaching winter, with its promise of virtually opening the doors of Gore Hall, while the students are otherwise engaged, and of closing them before the students are disengaged, is well calculated to prove a dreary season, in more than one respect. It does not seem possible that any reasonable argument against the lighting of the library could be presented. While it is certain...

On reading of this convenience we were painfully reminded of the lack of advancement of our own library in Gore Hall.

On Monday evening there was an enormous fire within a few feet of the library. At one time Gore ball was enveloped in smoke. Should that building be burnt, the college would suffer an irreparable loss. If we must have the traditional bonfire, let it be on Jarvis field, or in some spot where no danger to any property can be apprehended. But why the faculty should forbid...
