THE SENIORS AND THE UNION LIBRARY

The library of the Union contains almost none of the books that are used as texts or for the prescribed reading in College courses. With the funds available it has been found impossible to maintain such a collection and at the same time to keep the library up to date in publications of general interest. The usefulness of the library is thus considerably lessened and many men who would prefer to do their work in the Union if the books were available, are compelled to use the College libraries.

Each year the members of the graduating class take away with them or dispose of in other ways books that would form a considerable text-book library. If each Senior would gave to the Union library one such book in good condition, a very appreciable and useful collection would be started. a special class bookplate could be put into every book so given , and the name of the donor inscribed. Beside affording an opportunity to men to show their appreciation of the Union, action of the Senior class in this direction would materially increase the value of the Union library.
