We have already described how the dates are made. but the prevalence
of this practice is greater than is commonly supposed. even by the
Dean of Women. Words are rarely resorted to. for as soon as one
speaks above a whisper. one feels the discomfort of having a chaperon
present. One is confronted by the reproving eyes of the librarian. who
reminds one of a mother-in-law. However. a smile. well directed, will
eliminate this difficulty. Thus hours may be spent in silence-a silence
that is camouRage.
Over all this. the librarian presides. She is omniscient-omnipresent.
She can make or break a romance. She is the official Recorder and
Judge of dates. As we have the comptroller of currency in a clearing
house, so we have the librarian as comptroller of dates in the library.
From this it may be seen that the library plays an important role in
student life. It has a broadening inRuence, mentally and socially; and
though sometimes. under the crush of assigned reading we mistakenly
inveigh against it, we will always look back upon it as a bright spot in
our college days.
