To tho campus visitor thoro 1b noth ing particularly significant about tho white stono steps, with their rod sides, which mark the cntranco to the Library. They aro nine In number, considerably worn by weather and constant ubo, and possess tho same useful qualities which exist in any steps. Thus they impress tho visitor, whoso scope of observation is narrow and is limited by a lack of Information as to collcgo activities. But to the college student what a chacming aspect those sordid steps acquire! They represent a wealth of who are socially inclined. The latter aro not so much in evidence, nor is their possession of the steps as stable a ono as is hold by tho former. Their methods aro different; they aro more covert and moro obscure In their alms, but wo must admit they oxist.

They generally con gregate in Bmall groups and, we Imagine, abhor tho evil of remarking about others. They cluster thickly on the red-stone ledges and not infre quently hover about In tho middle of tho stops to discuss a lecture. per haps even a dance. These discussions often cover a porlod of five or ten minutes and materially block the pro gress of zealous students who are con stantly streaming in or out.
