HOSPITAL ADDRESS February 25, 194 'awny Corner Few students would consider en rolling in a college which did not Possess a library, yet there are many students at the Center who make very scant use of it, and some who have never been in the library at all. Apparently many of them are not aware of what the library has to of fer. Our library contains 3800 volumeS and subscribes to over thirty period icals among which are the Reader's Digest, Esquire, Time, and Life. The latest best sellers in fiction and non fiction are available for leisure read ing. Our reference section is rapidly expanding and contains many valu able reference works including the Encyclopedia Britannica (with the addition of Encyclopedia Americana expected shortly). A BORROWED BOOK A borrowed book is like a guest in the house; it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain con siderate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage: it must riot suffer under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot tut"' down the names, you cannot use it familiarly. And then some day, al though this is seldom done, you real ly ought to return it. ' —William Lyon Phelps IN CAPSULE FORM The Alibi Kate Eked to sleep late. So being late was the rule rather than the ex ception in her case. Morning after .morninT, she reported for classes at least five minutes after everybody else, but teacher was a kindly person and also one who liked to sleep so he hesitated to say anything to her.

That morning five minutes after everybody was seated, Kate arrived and teacher loudly summoned her to his office. " "Late again," he bristled, his blood pressure hitting about 300 ... "Why er ...er," she stuttered, "I got a flat tire on my way to school . . . I'm awfully -sorry, Mr. Steele ..." Teacher, being a kindly person and also one who liked to sleep, immedi ately accepted her excuse. He told her in his best school voice that all would be forgotten. Kate was quite leased with her perfect alibi. Wilqe performing her daily tasks she made a mental note to try to be on time the next morn ing. The next morning found Kate, up bright and early. She just couldn't be late after how nice teacher had' been to her yesterday. But on the way to school poor Kate got a flat tire ... Having arrived at class exactly a half hour late Kate reported to teacher. "Mr. Steele ... I'm ...er . er ... late again ... you see ... I er ... I overslept ..."
