Blue Gold Page 2O Dedleaitioe of Library off Fre e!h Tlnoeglht While the Panama-Pacific International Exposition was in ses- sion in San Francisco, the French Government sent a priceless col- lection of volumes to be exhibited, containing books by the greatest French writers. It was on September 6, 1917, that the French Gov- ernment sent M. Edouard de Billy, Deputy High Commissioner from France to the United States, to present formally the Uni- versity with this collection. It was especially fitting that this date should be chosen for the presentation of these books, as it was the one hundred and sixtieth anniversary of the birth of Marquis Lafayette, who, by his efforts in the Revolutionary War, forged the first links in the bonds of sympathy between the two republics. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, in accepting the gift in behalf of the University and the Regents, said that the library could well be called a sanctuary, a place where men and women could convene and receive the lessons it would suggest of the heroism of the French people in the present world crisis. Tlh GaiiMpaelle CMm Ringing their first notes on the day of the victorious big game with Washington, the campanile chimes have become a recognized institution of the University. After many delays and months of waiting the bells arrived from England, accompanied by an expert bell hanger, and the work of installation was com- pleted on November 2d. The formal dedi- cation exercises of the bells and Sathcr Tower took place on Charter Day amid a gathering of many hundreds of alumni, who returned to the University to take part in the Semi-Centenary Week cele- bration. The bells are played three times dur- ing the day by the chimes master, the mechanical device, which is to ring them every fifteen minutes, not having been in- stalled because of delav in manufacture.
