Scandinavian Literature.

The collection of Scandinavian books in the University library will soon be increased by many new volumes, the purchase of which has been made possible by a gift of five hundred dollars from Mrs. E. C. Hammer of Boston. Last year Mrs. Hammer made to the University a gift of the same amount, and a portion of this was used, at her suggestion, to provide for a concert of Norwegian music. It has been thought best to devote the whole sum given this year to the purchase of books, in order that the gaps in the collection might the more speedily be filled. Works in Swedish literature, of which there are comparatively few in the present collection, have been given a conspicuous place in the latest order list.
