The German Library.

The movement to form a German library, started a few weeks ago, is pushing as rapidly as possible, and already the effort, taking into consideration Mr. Villard's generous gift of $500, seems likely to be successful. A committee has been organized, under the direction of Dr. Francke, to have charge of the raising of funds among the students. The choice of books will be left almost entirely to Dr. Francke, assisted by the German department. The library rooms will be given by the University, and will be fitted tastefully from the committee's funds. It is intended that, when the library is opened, all may have access simply upon the application for a key, and the assurance that the books will be properly used. Whatever success the new library gains will be largely due to the generosity of the students.
