Officials of Library Take Action in Case of Book-Borrower
University Seniors Suspended for Fraudulently Obtaining Reserve Texts
"From time to time the University library is troubled by a selfish student who presents a false name and retains them for his private use, thereby upsetting the university."
Action is being taken by library officials to investigate students who are obtaining Reserve books fraudulently. This campaign came as a response to the University's senior in the University for this offense. The following is a letter from C. M. Baker, Director of Libraries, after the student's dismissal.
"Such use of a false signature is not only dishonorable; it is a fine preparation for a career as a forgery. Constituting, as it does, an offense against the entire student body, it is often dealt with when ever detected.
"Recently four biology books, frustfully obtained, were recovered, with a search warrant, from the room of the girl who was killed and been it his possession 10 months.
"Immediate detection is not easy but patient investigation by the authorities usually discloses the offender.
"In this instance the senior has been suspended from the University for the semester.
"Other cases are now under inves tion."
