...second. These figures are unfortunately considerably lower than in most years, and lower even than the average for the past four years, while the present Senior class has been in College. During these years the classes have been of nearly the same size, 1909, however, being the largest by quite a margin. An average of these years shows a vote of 58 per cent. for the officers and 44 per cent. for the committees. From any point one cares to view it these are disgracefully low figures. In political elections of the city or nation two-thirds of the total...
...matter of elections in the years previous to the last, the figures are also instructive. Each class starts out fairly well with a vote of about 60 per cent. for its Freshman officers. The largest vote cast for any class election was by the present Junior class in their Freshman year when 433 votes were cast. This good record was slightly marred in the Sophomore year when the vote was about 3 per cent. smaller and it was entirely spoiled in the elections this fall when only 232 men voted. A similar dropping off each year with a large decrease...

...classical Greek and Latin authors, mainly in eighteenth century editions of great value. In the Bowie catalogue there were listed 433 books printed before 1500, the work of 160 different printers. This addition more than doubles the former collection of such books, and probably gives the College Library the largest number of these early works of any public library in the country. Next to the classics in numbers come the works of the mediaeval Latin writers. There are also many standard works in French and English, as well as numerous curious and rare volumes...
