The daily work of the Library is all performed at great disadvantage, and in spite of the recent provision of fourteen class-room libraries outside of Gore Hall, the instruction in the advanced courses of some departments is seriously crippled.

Employers wanted men who were independent. Labor organizations demanded the right to say how capital should be invested and what rate of wages should be paid, without regard to the law of supply and demand. If organization should become universal the strikes that now affect a few would cause universal distress...
