So, having resolved not to waste our energy by
coming to the library when we do not need to, nor
by conducting ourselves in the library as we surely
do not need to, let us make one more good resolution.
We must remember, when we leave, to refrain from shouting, shrieking and other loud forms

others to maintain, the spirit of the place, which is
the spirit of the great students which it embodies
the spirit of worthy accomplishment.

Lady Huggins said she was born a lover of the

became interested in the spectrum, and made
