...great library is becoming every year a more important factor in college work. Already, in many of the more advanced courses, it is impossible to do much except in the library. The instructors are every year requiring more library work; every year students learn at an earlier period of their college course how to make use of the library, and to accept the great advantages it offers. Under such circumstances we cannot but feel very envious when we read that the library of Columbia College is to be open evenings and lighted by electricity. When we consider that the great...

This seems silf-evident, but it is not always borne in mind by members or by outsiders. We learn that the superintendent has sometimes been hampered in his efforts to obtain goods from producers and wholesale dealers, by the efforts of these to prevent the trade of their retail customers from being injured by the society. A striking instance of this is the present situation in regard to stylographic pens...
