Entrance was effected by breaking a window on the east side of the southeast room on the ground floor, and the person was apparently injured by the broken glass, for blood stains were left on the window sill and the floor.

To keep a close watch on every man in the Library and to enforce the leaving of coats, bags, etc., outside would probably be an effective means. To close the shelves to free access and to make every reader sign for his book, would be still more effectual. Or, of course, if the worst came to the worst, the Library could be closed.
