...only natural that the friends who have been impressed by the pure life and tragic death of Marshall Newell should come here to think of him. Each year turns out from the mass of youths at this University, leaders, pure, modest and masculine characters. Marshall Newell was one of these-the true type of man.

No fair-minded person could raise the slightest objection to a student's taking into the library a receptacle for his books and papers. Moreover, the library officials are doubtless well aware that books can be purloined without the aid of a bag. The request appeals to those who would make the place a baggage room...
