XV, H. CARLSON MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR Due to the efforts of E. G.

Upon Mr. Felt rests the responsibility of keeping up all buildings and grounds on the campus and making necessary repair work and improvements as funds become available. Although curtailed in his work through a shortage of funds during the past year, lVlr. Felt and his aides have done the work admirably. He has served the University since l9l8. LIBRARIAN William H.

In common with educational institutions everywhere the University of North Dakota is, more and more, regarding the library as one of the most important institutions on the campus, as is indicated by the fact that the use of books by student and faculty is now approximately twice as extensive as it was when Mr. Carlson assumed the Librarianship in 1929. Although its staff and its acquisition program has been drastically curtailed by the reduction of appropriations, the Library has added approximately I4,000 volumes under Mr. Carlson's administration. It now contains over ll2,000 volumes. Mr. Carlson is a native Nebraskan and before coming to the University was Supervisor of Departmental Libraries at the University of Iowa.
