The Library.
Mr. J. H. Engle has been made a student assistant.
Gomer Thomas and Miss Gilham will attend at the delivery desk as usual.
Quite a number of new books have been received and placed on the shelves this summer.
Miss Rogers will have charge of the seminary room of History and Sociology and Miss Edith Clarke of the English seminary room.
Everyone is here except Miss Sutliff, who will return about September 20th from the East, where she has been attending the Pi Phi national convention and visiting with friends in New England.
It may be interesting to describe the arrangement of the library. In the reading room, opposite the entrance, is the delivery desk, where the attendants are always ready to assist students in finding the book they want. At either side of the delivery desk are ranged all the best English dictionaries, convenient for reference. At the north side of the room, arranged in a series of drawers, is the card catalogue of the whole library, listed alphabetically, according to both subjects and authors. Beneath are books reserved for special classes, and above are placed the new books as fast as received. On the shelves next the card catalogue is Poole's Index to Periodical Literature and its continuations to date, the "Co-operative" and the "Annual," together with various special indexes and a list of all the bound magazines in the library. The rest of the space is occupied by a multitude of special reference books, "hand-books," atlases and dictionaries, and at the west end are the encyclopedias. On the west wall are two large cases of magazines, and doors open into the Seminary of Sociology and History in the northeast corner, and in the southeast corner into the newspaper room, where there are about two hundred daily and weekly newspapers and a large number of scientific periodicals. Down stairs in the northwest corner is the seminary room of American History, and in the northeast corner is the English seminary. These seminary rooms are only for advanced classes.
