Fairchild Hall The College Library is one of the most important supple- ments to class-room instruction. It consists of 30,950 bound volumes and about 18,000 pamphlets. All of the books are in- dexed in card catalogues, which show their author, title, and to a large degree the details of their contents, also their location.
