the Social Service Committee has recently issued a leaflet in regard to the Social Service library stated a year ago. To secure the best possible library on social subjects, the Committee wrote to twenty-eight English and American experts, asking each one to recommend ten books suitable for such a library. About one hundred of the books recommended have been bough, and the collection is being kept up to date. The leaflet which has been prepared by the Committee calls attention to these books, expressing the hope that the library will be freely used by members of the University. As characteristic books of the library may be mentioned the following: "Tramping with Tramps," by J. F. Willard; "How the Other Half Lives," by J. A. Riis; "Up from Slavery," by Booker T. Washington h.'96; "The Jukes," by R. L. Dugdale; "The City Wilderness," by R. A. Woods; "American Charities," by A. G. Warner. The books are kept in the Randall Room of Phillips Brooks House.
