THE READING ROOM.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - If the proposed reading-room is run, it will have these advantages over those which have preceeded it. First, the assessment will be but $1.50 instead of $3.00, the membership fee of the last reading room. In the next place, the room will be lighted in the evening. And lastly, there will be a much larger assortment of papers. To make such a room possible, it is necessary to have at least one hundred subscribers. As yet not more than forty have signed the book at the Co-operative store.

Since the advantages of a reading room will be especially great to members of the Harvard Union the assessment for them is placed at $1.00, and members of the reading room who are subsequently elected into the Union will have 50 cents refunded.

In case the reading room is run, the following papers will be on file: -

Dalles. - Boston Advertiser, Boston Transcript, New York Times. New York Tribune, Springfield Republican. Semi-weeklies. - Evening Post, Chicago Inter-Ocean. Weeklies. - Cincinnatti Gazette, Philadelphia Times, Louisville Courier-Journal, New Orleans Picayune, Atlanta Constitution, Alta California, Boston Home Journal, Burlington Hawkeye, Texas Siftings, Harper's Weekly, Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, New York Clipper, The Spirit of the Times, Life, The Judge, Puck, London Times, Illustrated London News, Pall Mall Budget, Punch, and Frankfurtu Leitung.

In addition to these, the papers and magazines of the principal colleges will be on file, including the Oxford Review. Suggestions as to how the above list may be improved will be gladly received by the committee.

As the plan will be abandoned if there are not enough names by next Thursday night, the committee would respectfully urge all who are interested in the scheme to sign the book at the Co-operative store without delay.
