...summer, of which he knows nothing. It is to these books that our summer reading should be directed.

Although Emerson advised no one to read a book that was not one year old, we would not, if we looked about us, have need of his advice, for there are so many good...

There is sufficient available space in the strangers' galleries and Sanders Theatre to meet any exigency of that nature. Indeed, it is a matter of wonder to us that Sanders Theatre has never been utilized for this purpose before. The stage will easily accommodate three tables, and, instead of forcing strangers into dimly-lighted galleries, exhibition eating might be given them. Friendly eating matches also might be improvised between the tables and would form a source of no little...
