THE STUDENTS JOURNAL greets its readers upon their return from what it trusts was a very happy vacation for everyone. Now that the fall term, with its distractions in the form of elections and vacations, is nearly over, the student can get down to work in earnest. From now on there will be comparatively little to take his attention away from study. In work done, the second term is always far more fruitful than the first The few remaining weeks of the present term may well be spent in preparing "to withstand the wily examinations of the faculty. For ye wrestle not against flesh and blood but against mummified languages, against unknown quantities, and against unsolvable problems Above all take upon yourselves the shield of Rhetoric wherewith ye may be able, through a display of eloquence, to mystify the Powers."
To the students, and to the citizens of Lawrence we wish to say; Please give neither credence nor circulation to the wild rumors of misbehavior of our Glee Club at some places on the route. It is very much to be regretted that these rumors have been
told and believed, and much more to be regretted that there was even the slightest foundation for them. The blame, however, should not be placed upon any members of the Club excepting the very few whose actions were objectionable.
BEFORE our next issue, the staff of this paper for the coming term will have been selected. The present staff has no "administration candidates" to urge upon the stockholders; it has no "axe to grind." It merely wishes the company to do as it has done in the past; select for each position the man best fitted to fill it in a way helpful to the best interests of the whole University. The personal efforts of the members of the staff will be exerted in that direction. The call for election will be found elsewhere in this issue.
The interesting information in our Harvard letter, concerning Harvard's library building, will perhaps be something of a surprise to the students. We are so used to looking up to Harvard as the pink of perfection among American schools, that we are astonished to learn that its library
