T STUDENT PRINTS Unique in The annals oT Maxwell I-Iall is STudenT PrinTs, a newspaper ThaT was sTarTed by members oT The class oT '36, and is here To sTay. OriginaTed and chrisTened I-ludson River MonThIy, The inTanT was anxiously waTched by iTs TosTer moThers To see how iT would prosper. Like Jack's beansTaIk, iT grew and grew, unTiI now The subscripTion IisT is nearing The ZOO mark, and The TuTure seems secure. The new name STudenT PrinTs appeared as The resuIT oT a conTesT, and The I-Ienderson Twins may be proud oT Their conTribuTion. The paper has TaiThTulIy chron- icled evenTs oT inTeresT To Maxwell Hall residenTs, and has endeavored To wield a pro- gressive iniluence on sTudenT opinion. The larger parT OT The class ol: '36 has aT one Time or anoTher submiTTed maTerial Tor pubIicaTion, and a reliable group oT conTribuTors is rapidly developing in The succeeding classes. During The pasT six monThs STudenT PrinTs has sTarTed To ex- change papers wiTh oTher hospiTaIs and has Tound These conTacTs inTeresTing and sTimulaTing. STudenT PrinTs is sTiIl adoIescenT and Thinking oT The opporTuniTies ahead oT iT. We are sorry we will have To waTch iT Trom a disTance. IT will be, however, a valuable means oT keeping in conTacT wiTh our school aTTer we leave, and we may always be proud oT iTs concepTion in our group. W. WILLIS. TI'-IE LENDIN6 LIBRARY The Maxwell I-Iall Lending Library opened iTs doors Tor business in November, I935.

The library is sponsored by The STudenT GovernmenT and The original seIecTion oT TourTeen books was purchased by The STuclenT Government A small renTal Tee Tor books which are borrowed makes possible The addiTion oT new'TicTion and non-TicTion books Trom Time To Time. Many people have generously donaTed books so ThaT The library grew apace Trom The beginning. SeIecTion oT new books is made on The basis oT requesTs Trom members oT The library.
