Another old habit of many students
is that of turning up chairs by tho
day, thereby reserving a favorite spot
to the exclusion of all comers. This
Is a hard mattor for tho librarians
to control, as thero is good reason in
permitting chairs to bo turned up for
short intervals. As It Js, there are
only a few seats near loving couples,
whoro no one wants to sit, vacant
during tho day. Tho reading room Is
small enough -without so shrinking its
seating capacity.
To look about the Library one
would think that students are irre
sponsible bolngB. Uncovered maga

books, which are supposed to be re

International Y. M. C. A. Secretary
of Manchuria and Korea, Mr. C. B.
Hibbard, addressed tho men's moot
ing last night on tho work of tho Y.
M. C. A. In tho Japanese army. Mr.
Mayne, city secretary, was to have
spoken, out the arrival of rM. Hib
bard changed the plans, and those
present wero given a short but good
Idea of the work.
When the work was first com
menced the Japanese officers and sol
diers looked with disdain and appre
hension upon those engaged in the
work, but it was not long bofore the
nature of tho work won the men over
and then their place was full from
daylight until dark. Reading matter,
soap, hot water, tea-and various neces
sities were furnished. Ten thousand
needles were used on ten records,
and still the men did not tire of tho
music.
One striking result of the work was
tho giving of $5,000 to tho work by
tho Emperor of Japan.
Mr. Hibbard Is a graduate of Wis
consin, '00, a P. B. K., and considered
the best chemist turned out from Wis
consin. He is on a six months' fur
lough and is intending to do post
work at Wisconsin tho coming semes
ter. Tho Bible sludy campaign resulted
in fifty men signing up fo rtho work.

find it much easier to avoid tills If
every one felt himself responsible to

To the man who forgets to return a
reserved book, tho aot is one of moral
responsibility, and to tho man who
spends a half hour in1 a vain search
for tho book tho action Is, to say the
least, disagreeable and wasteful of
time.
Thero ip ono thing about tho Li

cannot bo held responsible, and that
is tho condition of the atmosphere.

I hope you will stand pat. The pranks
of college boys are not much short of
disgrace to modern educational meth
ods of discipline. This state of af
fairs Is dtie largely to emasculated of

schools who haven't moral courage
enough to stand up against foolish
parents of young ruffianfe.

of their students while enrolled seems
