- Ll-. The Classical Library. ...AIIIIEIIHE Classical Library, which had for a nucleus a number 941119 nm of books presented to the Latin Department from the 1 collection of Professor C. M. Baker and a few addi- 6, tional volumes the gifts of other donors, was established 5:1119 in a room in College Hall, fitted up for the purpose by Professor Hardie in 1892. At the following commence- ment the Alumni Association appropriated one hundred dollars for the purchase of reference books in various departments, and with a portion of this sum additions were made to the classical collection. In 1896 up- wards of one hundred volumes, chiefly editions of Greek and Latin authors, were received through Mr. N. L. Robinson, '77, from that eminent scholar and friend of classical learning, Professor Henry VVarren Torrey, of Harvard College. The next gift of importance was one thousand dollars from the late ex-Governor Flower. With this generous benefaction extensive additions were made to the library, including a considerable number of rare and useful books from the rich collection of the late Professor Henry Drisler, of Columbia College. To make room for these additions the library was removed to the pleasant rooms which it now occupies, and which are shown in the accompanying illustration. During the past year Mr. Anson R. Flower presented the library with an addi- tional three hundred dollars to complete the improvements to which the gift of his brother had been applied. The library now provides a splendid equipment for the work of the department. It contains a full assortment of editions of the classical Greek and Latin authors, bound sets of the leading periodicals dealing with the classics, and works of reference treat- ing of ancient history, literature, art, epigraphy and palaeography, and similar subjects. In short, the library affords opportunity for investi- gation in any line of study in which a student is likely to be employed in connection with the Greek and Latin studies of his college course. Q
