The section on devotional religion and homiletics is standard and it has several large sets of Church History in Knglish and French. The Acts of the Holy Sec and Bodies of Canon Haw are also here. Its Literature section is one of the finest and includes works, not only in Knglish. hut also many of the classics in French and Herman.

CC=he College Library A good library is a necessary adjunct to every educational institution. To obtain the desired ends of education the daily class lecture's in a college must la supplemented by continual reference and research work in the school library. To permit students to do properly the reference work which our stringent educational standards necessitate, two things are essential. The college must have an adequate library conveniently accessible; and the student himself must be given the necessary knowledge to enable him to make an intelligent use of that library. Johnson said that knowledge is of two kinds: “we know a subject ourselves or we know where we can find information upon it.” A little instruction in the principles of bibliography and the use of the library catalogue will soon enable a student to use the library to good advantage and where the instruction is given in conjunction with the regular school curriculum, the wish of Kmerson has been somewhat realized when he advocated a professorship of books in every college. St. Xorbert s library dates back to the very first years of the college’s existence. It marks its modest beginning when twelve students from the literature class went down to Green Bay. and each purchased a book to be donated to the college library. Appeals were sent out to several parish priests and soon the collection began to grow. The faculty library in the priory was until recently distinct from the general library. Two years ago the entire faculty and departmental libraries of the school were combined into what is now the general library. The library occupies one half of the first floor of Boyle Hall. No effort has been spared to make every thing conducive to study and pleasant reading. The windows are large and admit of sufficient light and sun to impart that cheerfulness so desirable in a reading room. The stacks are of tin very latest type, of steel construction, and of seven sections of seven double compartments each. The interior decorations are carried out in a pleasing and restful shade of white and large massive chandeliers give that indirect reflection of light known to be the best for library use. The books are catalogued according to the well known Dewey Decimal Classification system which is employed in the majority of public and college libraries in tin country. Our library is a member of the American Library Association and receives its periodicals and announcements. The form of catalogue used is the dictionary which is the form generally found in libraries because it is the most easily understood and consulted. Students are allowed access to almost every department and special permission can be obtained from the librarian or his delegated assistant to enter any section whenever it is deemed necessary. In the matter of discipline an honor system prevails and every patron is made to understand that he must respect his neighbor’s rights by maintaining silence. A library attendant supervises the general order but an effort is made to make each student feel his individual responsibility. Several of the departments have attained a remarkable development. The collection of patrology or writings of the Church Fathers is one which any library might envy. The famous Aligne edition of the Church Fathers in Latin and Greek, consisting of almost 400 volumes is worthy of mention. Besides this the collection numbers several volumes of translations and a few sets of the Ante Xicene and Post Xicene Fathers in English. The department of Theology boasts of several valuable sets. Tin complete works of St. Thomas translated by the Dominicans from the leonine edition and also a large set of his works in Latin are available. In addition to these there are all the writings and treatises of the Page Twenty-One
