iarize themselves with the role.

Lights In Library
Found To Be Correct
According to a recent - survey
of lighting conditions in the
University -library made hy
Mr. J. S.. Bennett, superin
tendent of the , electric division
of the Consolidated Service
Plants, the illumination in the
library is thoroughly : adequate.
The survey was made at the
request of library officials to
insure' proper lighting . condi
tions for. readers. It was found
that at every, seat used for
steady reading adequate light
was furnished." - . ' -
: "As a matter of fact," , said
Mr.' Coney, assistant librarian,
"we f bund in a few places that
a good deal too much light was
being furnishedr. Steps " will . be
taken to reduce the illumination
at these points to normal to pre

CHASE DESCRIBES
METHOD OF STUDY
University President Tells
Freshmen to Keep up in
Work; Warns Against Dis
tractions. President Chase, in a chapel
exercise address to the fresh
men yesterday, described the
difficulties that one experiences
in studying. He grouped his re
marks under four subjects: the
proper timing of one's activi
ties ; proper- study conditions ;
regular, study ; and seeking ad
vice on difficulties.
Discussing the first point, Dr.
Chase said, there are always
many distractions to draw ones
attention, from study. The pro
verbial good time,' when one will
have nothing else to do, never
arrives. In View of this," he point
ed out, it becomes necessary for
the student to learn to divide his
time in a way that will leave 'a
sufficient part for study. Ac
cording to the speaker, seeming
ly big dif f icultfes are of ter mere
ly matters of too much recrea
tion and too little study. V
. As a splendid place to study
when conditions in the dormi
tories and elsewhere are ' poor,
Dr. Chase recommended i the
reading xoom in the library
where an order of quietness is
maintained at all times. .
The University president put
forward as the best method of
study day by day work. He re
minded the freshmen that it is
the regular habit and not sudden
spurts that counts. "Don't let
