It has been said to be the best selected collection of books for the "youthful cultivated reader" in America; and the number who use the library show that that is not a contradiction in terms. There is no "red tape" connected with its mechanism. The reader can browse around the shelves at pleasure, can pick out books personally and enjoy them in quiet, while smoking the Union's cigarettes.

There are 80 professors and instructors, 33 more than last year. The total number of foreign students shows an increase from 145 to 185, but the representation of England France and Germany has fallen off. The number of books and pamphlets in the University Library is 1.888.542, $7.455 more than in 1914. Of these, 1.113672 are housed in the Widener Library...
