A COLLEGE READING ROOM.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - Allow me to say a few words in favor of starting a reading-room. As the project was stated the other night, it seems that the assessment will be but $1.50, and in the case of members of the Harvard Union, $1.00. For this small sum a person will have access to the leading New York and Boston dailies, as well as those from Chicago, San Francisco and the South. Harper's Weekly, Frank Leslie's, Life, and Puck will be in the list. The London Graphic, Illustrated News and Punch, with possibly a German and a French paper, will also be among the number. It is expected that the various college exchanges will likewise be on file. The reading-room, conveniently situated directly above the Co-operative store, will be kept open all day and most of the evening. Such a project can only be carried out if at least one hundred men support it with their subscriptions. If the books left at the Co-operative office have the requisite number of names by the next meeting of the Harvard Union, we shall soon have the advantages of a well equipped reading-room. Let those of us, then, who are interested in the plan not delay to

sign at once.
