=3 Government Selects Library for Documental Depository Near the close of the session of 1905-1906 An- drew Carnegie offered to give the college $15,000 for a library building if the trustees would provide an endowment of an equal amount. The endow- ment required was given by Major Millsaps. The Millsaps-Wilson Library now has the honor of being a partial depository for government documents. The library system offers the resourses of 47,000 books, pamphlets and reports filling eight file draw- ers, 125 maps, 70 phonograph records, and subscrip- tions to 400 periodicals. The library will accom- modate 200 students who have free access to the books and periodicals— a privilege made possible by an honor system. The library staff consists of four full-time pro- fessional librarians and of assistants, two members of a clerical staff and ten student workers.
