With more than 80 books already missing from the reserved shelves in the Library, this year bids fair to equal last year's record of 350 stolen books. In the courses in Economics, Social Ethics, and Philosophy alone, 25 books have been missing since October 1. "But the worst part of it all", complained Librarian C. A. Mahady, when interviewed across the desk of the main reading room, yesterday "is that often a single volume of a series is stolen, and then the library usually has to buy an entire new set in order to replace just one volume.

The heavy trading in shares has drawn forth many comparisons with active markets in the past-particularly with that of 1901. As yet, however, the present market has still to equal many records established in that financial classic. No bull day has yet seen 3,200,000 shares sold, as on Apr. 30,1901.
