...Debtor," by John Garrison, is burdened with an excess of very ordinary word painting and lack of restraint, but has a certain maturity of style that saves it from being commonplace.

A recount made last fall, however, shows the corrected total of volumes to be 387,097, while the whole number of books in the University libraries...
...year ending July 31, 1901, shows a decrease of the funds and balances, excluding gifts for capital account of $321,579.01, the total receipts being $2,267,854.44 and payments $2,589,433.45. This decrease is more than covered by payments on account of the construction of buildings in excess of receipts therefor in the current year. Receipts. Payments.
