A college president recently suggested
dead books. BY dead books" he means
those that have not been asked for once
In five years. Thereupon u librarian
writes to the Philadelphia Record thar
among other baaks on his shelves which
have not been asked for once in five
years are 'Tom JONES'" "Tristram
Shandy," "Plato," 1.-The HAD" Dan
te," 1.-The Aeneid," Marlowe's Jews Of
Malta" Sponsors "Faerie Queene."
POpe's poems, the plays Of Beaumont
and Fletcher, and "Vathek." There are
several more books ON his shelves, he
says, which, under the college presi-
dents definition, would be dead
books" but, he says, ne we should
burn them the loss to the library would
be, l fancy, rather perceptible." 1t is
likely that the college president had
In mind when he made his sweeping
suggestion the uncalled for fiction of the
cheaper sort which numbers up the
shelves of every library. 1t might be
an excellent thing to get rid Of most
Of this, but it would be more profitable
to dispose of 1t to the second hand deal
ers than to burn It. But, on the other
hand, the late DR.. Poole, who had had
large experience with books. used to
say 'never destroy any book. Some
time, 1t may be year hence or fifty
years hence, some person will wish that
book" 1t does not follow book Is
valueless because not called for 1t
may be doubted. indeed, whether any
book ever dies. Books may be unused
for years, then unexpectedly come into
demand. They may have long periods
Of resting and come to be almost for
gotten; then public interest revives in
them and they are as great favorltes as
es ever. Witness the new edition of
the novels Of Miss Burney. Richardson
and others, which were long ago sup
posed to be dead" in the sense i'm
piled by the college president, and wit
ness also the great demand for them.
His suggestion was most unfortunate
one. Pliny the elder used to say that
mo book was SO bad but some good
might be got out of it." and Cervantes
repeated this sage observation in Don
QuiXote."

Hazing is always cOwardly, because
the victim is overpowered by numbers
and taken at disadvantage when he has
no chance Of resistance. It is utterly
lawless and brutal because it violates
the sanctity Of the victims person and
subiec him to gross indignity, to-
which no man willingly submits so long
as he has any chance Of resistance
From whatever standpoint it is viewed
haZing is detestable, and it Is particu-
larly demOralizing because it rests for
defense upon the plea that the social
manners and habits of young man at
college may properly be regulated by
various kinds Of physical outrage and
insult whose practice is forbidden by
law.
