This is a summary account of the high spots in the record of a single year's routine at the Harvard Library. Other chapters could be written, that would be less spectacular but just as full of every-day human interest and quite as important for the all around development of the Library as the greatest of all collections for the prosecution of productive scholarship, as well as for the education of young Americans.
