P. B. H. LOAN LIBRARY OPEN TODAY

Limited Number of Books May be Borrowed upon Deposit of 25 cents each

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Text Book Loan Library of Phillips Brooks House intended primarily for the use of those who are unable to buy the text books required in their courses will open this morning at 9 o'clock for the first time.

A limited number of books, chiefly French, German, and Spanish readers, are on hand and will be loaned for the year in accordance with the regular system of deposit. One change has however, been made this year. It has been decided that a uniform rate of 25 cents a copy will be charged as deposit, all of which except five cents a copy for expenses will be returned on receipt of the borrowed copy. The decision to fix a uniform rate instead of the 10, 15, and 25 cents per copy, comes as a result of the growing tendency not to return books on which only a small deposit has been made; the actual expense to the borrower remains in all cases the same.
