Library as thus to maltreat college property. Pencil marks along the margin and heavy underscorings not only ruin the appearance of a book, but in emphasizing the wrong points such marks often prove a hindrance to the next reader. The students who are allowed to take out reference books surely have no excuse for not treating them with the greatest care, and returning them promptly and in good condition. On Sunday evening, January 13, at a meeting of the Missionary Society, the Reverend W. Courtenay Fenn, who has recently returned from China, gave a very interesting talk on the Siege of Pekin. Mr. Fenn, who was among the colony of legations, missionaries, and native Christians shut up in the city during the siege, gave a vivid description of their experiences during that dangerous time, and illustrated his account with stereopticon views. On Wednesday evening, January 16, Miss Byrd lectured before the Education Society on "The People's Astronomy." The lecture was held in one of the rooms of the High School building and was open to the public. At an open-closed meeting of the Oriental Club on February 5, Professor Wood gave an interesting talk with stereopticon on the "Architecture of India," a very attractive branch of the general subject of India, which the club is now studying.
