BOOK "HOGS"

The President of the Student Council has found it necessary to call attention in the existence at Harvard of book "hogs" in the librarian--the men who keep books for individual use while others are waiting, the men who take out books and "forget" to return them. It is preposterous to trial such men as irresponsible children--to threaten and plead with them. College men are intelligent enough to appreciate fair play, to understand, at least, the reason for the few, simple rules made by the libraries. "Hogging" a book for individual use cannot be excused as carelessness; it is pure selfishness. "Forgetting" to return a book goes much further than even such selfishness. The Governing Board of the Union should not be left to deal with this situation; undergraduate sent meat should be so outspoken that it will result in a movement to rid Harvard of all book "hogs."
