Reserved Books in the Library.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

The communication published in last Saturday's CRIMSON, stating that the writer removed a reserved book from the Library "to finish up a pressing piece of work during the night hours" without any intention "of retaining it at the expense of other students," suggests a question as to whether the removal of a book for over-night use could possibly do any harm to other students or to the Library. Of course, as the rule now stands, it would be impossible to justify anyone in removing a reserved book under any circumstances, since it involves the deliberate breaking of a Library rule, but it might be possible so to change the rule as to provide for the drawing out of books for overnight use. This system works satisfactorily in Harvard Hall. Why not in Gore Hall? A BIBLIOPHILIST.
