A MODERN CONVENIENCE

Again demand has arisen that the University Library improve its system for the return of overnight books. That the present time for returning them, from quarter of nine to nine in the morning, is so limited as to cause inconvenience is obvious. Certainly in the interests of extending the library facilities the slight effort necessary to remedy this defect will be well repaid.

Several years ago a slot was put in Widener for books returned at night, but owing to lack of use, it was shortly removed. This method of returning books was kept, however, in the Freshman Library, and became increasingly popular up to last year, when it went the way of the old library building. The present demand for application of some such system to the University Library shows that it has now become genuinely useful. Not only would it be a great convenience for students, but it would much facilitate the borrowing of books from the reading rooms.
