The German Library.

The first instalment of books for the new German library, to be known as the "Villard Library," in honor of its founder, has arrived and the books are now on the shelves in Sever 4. Dr. Francke while abroad this summer, kindly attended to the purchase of the books and invested but one third of the amount given to him. His object in doing this was to buy the standard works of German literature and on German literature from the 4th to the 19th century. Gradually the less important works will be bought and the gaps will be filled in, so that by the end of the year Dr. Francke expects the library will cover in a fair manner the field of German literature. The Villard library will be open during the day-time to all members of the university, and students may obtain keys from Dr. Francke.
