Some one not acquainted with this too characteristic proceeding may ask why this state of affairs has been allowed? It is the now famous reply-Poverty. Poverty! when a hundred lives may be endangered for want of what a few dollars could buy. Such an excuse is unworthy of any weight. Let them procure the money by any means, but let them see to it that our death-traps be made decently safe. Not one of the gentlemen who represent the corporation would allow such a thing if he could personally help it, we are sure, and why then cannot...
...fact that the fear of showing their freshness, which influences many of the actions of the freshman-keeps men from going into the library and finding out how to take books out. This seems a trivial reason to prevent men from getting books which they really want to read, and should not for a moment keep them from getting at once into the way of using the library.

Considering the short time they had for practice and the great number...
Those friends of the "higher education of women" who have finally achieved their wish in gaining the advantages of Columbia College for their young female students, are very angry because only two young women apply to be let in. The result is attributed much to the want of interest felt by the trustees of Columbia, but the trouble lies deeper. There are but few New York girls of the higher class of mind who desire it. There is not that tendency toward study here which exists in the East and in the West. The young women who would have attended...
