NEW POLICY OF LIBRARY REDUCED SUMMER LOSSES

Information received at the Widener Library yesterday revealed that the checking system now in use in the reading room to prevent the loss of text books has been successful at least during the summer months when the Library is at the disposal of Summer School students. While 125 books disappeared during the summer of 1929, only six were lost in a similar period of 1930.

The story was related of a young woman not connected with the University who sold one of the Library books and bought her supper with the proceeds. That she was caught in the act provides a sordid finish to a career of highly imaginative kleptomania.
