A RUMOR has latterly prevailed to a considerable extent among undergraduates, that the cataloguing of books at the Library was to be abandoned henceforth, and that the requisite information was to be given by persons suitably qualified for the purpose. We have authority for stating that this report is signally deficient in all those essential characteristics which distinguish mere hearsay from accredited fact. We learn, however, that this plan was proposed to the Library Council, and was not approved; but that there will probably be some simplification and abbreviation in the present system of card catalogue. The numerous and vigorous advocates of more reading room and of open alcoves will perhaps be pleased to learn that it is the present intention of the Library management, on the completion of the new part, to fill the floor of the old building with reading tables, and to have certain alcoves containing books of reference and those most in demand accessible to all students during the regular hours.
