The doors of the Library will be closed and service in the Library will be suspended from 11.30 until 12.30 o'clock or until after the funeral of Professor Coolidge. Men who are using the reading rooms and the stacks may remain at their work, but the delivery desk and some of the special libraries will be closed.

If anyone has occasion to leave the Library in the interval, he may do so by the door on Massachusetts Avenue.

This will be the only exit left open for Widener patrons during the hour devoted to the Coolidge funeral service. It is suggested that students attend to their book requirements early in the day in order to minimize noon-day activity.
