...necessarily gives the most unsatisfactory and meagre information in regard to the character of a book. In half the time it ordinarily takes to find the Library boy, one could, if allowed to enter the alcoves, discover whether a book would answer his purpose; while the proposition that a free access to books stimulates reading is proved by the fact that more books have been taken from the shelves containing the new books exposed for examination than from any other collection of the same size in the hall.

The question having arisen whether the bulletins should be distributed among students, it has been decided that if a sufficient number leave their names at the Library as desiring copies, an extra number will be printed for their accommodation, to be distributed free or at a very small price. The first bulletin contains many valuable and interesting works, for the most part foreign, and will be of importance to all those who use the Library. We hope that students will make application for copies early, in order that a sufficient number may be printed...
