Princeton Received Valuable Gift

Princeton University has recently received, as a gift from an alumnus, a very valuable and complete statistical library which has been in the process of collection since 1880, and consists of the financial reports and statements of railroads and industrial corporations in the United States extending from 1839 to the present time. The collection consists of 5,000 books, 13,000 pamphlets, 39,000 bond and stock circulars, and news clippings mounted on some 70,000 separate sheets. The material is indexed and classified, and has been installed in a separate room in the University Library Building at Princeton.
