=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.

Courses Stress Intellectual Consideration of Situations Contributions of ancient civilizations, atrocites of the French Revolution, Americanism of 1776, prin- ciples of constitutional law— these are some concerns of the Department of History at Millsaps. History courses have been so planned that the student may follow the causal relationship in human development. Upon a thorough factual foundation emphasis is placed on the progressive organization of social, intellectual, and moral ideas of peoples and nations. In the approach to an understanding of historical phenomena, literature, religion, racial factors, economic conditions, and social institutions, as well as forms of government, are considered.
