...Library Bulletin, No. 7, lately issued, is far more interesting than the uninitiated would suppose.

As a matter of fact, it contains much useful information on subjects in which many of us at Harvard are interested. The Bulletin consists of twenty-five pages, of which ten contain a list of the most-important additions to the Library since December.

In the choice of electives these papers were a valuable guide, since they showed the nature of an elective much more clearly than any title or list of books studied could do.

Ivy, of the class of '81, will issue, about the first of January, "Harvard and its Surroundings," a book modelled after "Alden's Sixpenny Guide to Oxford." This book will contain about sixty pages of reading matter and fifty heliotypes and woodcuts, including views of all the College buildings, those in Boston and Jamaica Plain as well as those in Cambridge. The heliotypes will be furnished by Osgood & Co., the press work will be done at the Riverside Press...
