Reynolds. liigfzafzt gfaff The library staff was very satisfactorily headed this year by lN4iss Betts with several assistants aiding her. There are several very interesting features about the library which very few know. Une of the most interesting is that the college takes 140 magazines and newspapers, of which seventy-hve are subscribed for, while the other sixty-five are donated. Another very interesting feature is a cabinet given by Charles Kent 1055, which is located in the periodical room. It contains eighty-one slides show- ing handwritten letters by famous people, old confederate money, a few school books used when colonies were first settled here, and many other interesting articles. Another feature is that the Carnegie Endowment Fund for International Peace, through the International Relations Club, gives two books of very worth- while reading to the college library annually.
