CANDIDATES for honors, both second-year and final, will present themselves for examination in U. E. R. to-morrow at 9 o'clock, and on Monday...

And if it were not necessary to present the book itself at the library, the inconvenience of renewing would be very slight.

The reading-room now in the hands of the undergraduates has never been...
