NEW BOOKS AT WIDENER LIBRARY

The Widener Library has recently received a bequest of a collection of books and reports concerning railroads by the will of the late Robert D. Jenks '97, of Philadelphia. Mr. Jenks was a lawyer, especially interested in railroad problems and statistics, and his collection is valuable. The library has lately received its regular shipment from England. Among the books received was a complete set of "Punch" for the Farnsworth Room.
