NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The University and Union libraries have recently received a valuable gift of about 450 volumes from Mr. and Mrs. Ira Atkinson of Wakefield. The books comprise the library of their son. Roger Trowbridge Atkinson '94, who died last fall, and are given in his memory. They are for the most part well selected works of English and French literature, travel, and natural history, and cover a wide field of learning. The books given the Union are chiefly duplicates and works of French literature. A few volumes also have been given to the Natural History Society.

After taking a medical degree in 1898. Mr. Atkinson became an assistant of Histology and instructor of Embryology in the Medical School. He then served for a time in the Philippines as an army surgeon; and became later an assistant surgeon in the navy. It was while serving in the navy that he fell ill with an attack of typhoid fever, from which he died on November 10 in the Marine hospital at Norfolk.
