The base-ball season is now upon
us. With the advent of mild
weather practice in batting and
fielding- has begun in earnest though
it will be some time yet before any
practice games will be played.
Vaccinated arms and "unfavorable
meteorological conditions" have de
layed practice this spring for a
much longer time than usual but
now these hindrances are out of the
way and every man who wishes to
make a place on the team must
come out and show the best that is
in him. Within six weeks we have
our first game and as we cannot
count on unbroken good weather
during this short period it can be
seen plainly enough that a great
deal of hard work must be done to
get the team into shape. Although
several members of last years team
are back in college to try for their
places, not one of them has such a
"cinch" on his position as should
deter any newcomer. The place is
always open for the best man to
step into it, and the best is not the
one who shows up best the first
few afternoons but the one who by
consistent hard work and steady
ball playing snows himself fittest.
Nor should there be any cry of fa
voritism when the team is made up
for the first games. These are
merely to try out the material and
rest assured that merit combined
with hard work everyday will win
in the end over slowness and laziness.

During the past mouth the editor
has spent a good deal of time in the
library and has noted the careless
ness of many of the students in
handling the books. Not only are
they much abused but their posi
tion on the shelves are often de
ranged, they are left scattered
about on the tables or on the win
dow seats. If this merely caused
the librarian a good deal' of unnec
essary labor it would be worth
while to call attention to it, though
it is but a comparatively small mat
ter. This however is not the chief
cause of complaint. Very frequent
ly when a book or magazine is
wanted, perhaps wanted immediate
ly, it cannot be found or found only
after a time consuming search over
the library. We wish to call
the attention of the thoughtless to
the annoyances resulting from their
carelessness and feel quite sure that
further comment will be unnecessary.
The Infirmary
Communicated.
Now that, thanks to good medical
skill, good nursing and wholesale
vaccination, the small pox patient has
recovered and all danger of contagion
seems to be past, the writer has to
offer a suggestion about the infirm
ary. As e.'ery one in college knows
its location is anything but ideal if
seclusion and quiet count for any
thing. True it is not in the South
Building or at the Post Office but
with these two exceptions it could
hardly be in a noisier or . more
frequenented part of the campus
than it is. With lecture rooms and
dormitories within fifty or one
hundred yards and many of the most
frequented paths within a much
less distance, indeed passing by it,
it is impossible that patients attack
ed with contagious diseases be
properly isolated or that noise, the
sine qua iion of college "men", do
not disturb anyone in the infirmary.
The reality of the latter danger
will be recalled bv us who remem
ber Mr. Reynolds' dangerous re
lapse, due to the thoughtless noise
making of a number of college
"men."
In the opinion of the writer a
much better location would be at
the back of the campus some dis
tance behind the South Building,
in fact any palce is better than the
present location. We have gone
through the small-pox scare safely
and really without much "scare"
but everyone would have felt much
easier had the patient been in not
such close proximity. Of course there
may never be another case of any
sort of small pox here, again there
may be a contagious epidemic
and the writer of this would not
care to go about his da.ly duties
within fifty yards of a pest house.

Literary Societies.
At their last meeting the two
literary societies transacted busi
ness of some interest to the college
at large as well as to themselves. It
was decided to give a gold pin to
the debaters in inter-collegiate con
tests and a committee is now select
ing the design. Debaters for the
Commencement"Rep"debaters were
elected, from the Phi, Messrs. G.
