...shelf on which the reference books in English VI should be reserved is conspicuously empty this week. Of the reference books for the present debate only the Congressional Record is a reserved book. All the others are out of the library.

And if these books are in the hands of the principals it shows a gross disregard of the rights of the other members of the course...

The reading room is much too small for the number of readers, is badly lighted, and not ventilated at all; the catalogue and delivery room is unwholesomely crowded all day; and the shelf-room for books is so completely occupied that the proper classification of the books has been arrested with the work half done.

...completion of the index to the subject catalogue. The catalogue itself has been greatly benefited by this and several important changes have been made in it. The Library is sadly in need of a new building. At the end of two years the librarian has announced that the entire shelf room in Gore Hall will be filled. It is proposed to build a new reading room retaining the present building as a book-stack. Such alterations would cost $150,-000 at the least. There are now twenty-one class room libraries connected with the University...
