The Library
TO THE EDITOB OP THK BTAB. Sib,— Kindly allow me to pcunt ont to "Student" two faults in his letter. First of all, it is very uncomplimentary, probably without the least intention of being so. He suggests that I should send book* to tbe Library to encourage others to do the same, aud then says the Committee would have to decide whether tbey will allow a "lot of worthless rubbish to be accepted." Surely he does not wish to imply that any books others, or myself might send would necessarily be "worthless rubbish." In the seoond place his) philosophy is scarcely sound, as it distinctly implies that no person should use the slightest influence tp induce another to do what he may not be able to do liim'-elf, a principle which if carr'ed oui would put an end to many charitable and benevoleut acts. No doubt " Student" himself wili be glad to know that my suggestion has already borne some fruit, which I trust may prove to be not altogether "worthies* rubbish." — I am, &a., A Readbb.
