From the above lists we count 180 periodicals in the reading-room during 

 the year, and there are always to be had on the tables numerous scientific or 

 political pamphlets on the topics of the times. The library has been open 

 sixty-two hours a week, ten hours daily on week days, two hours on Sunday, 

 and the number of readers compares very flatteringly with other libraries vis- 

 ited. 



A trial has been made of the system of loaning a second book upon the per- 

 sonal request of the student wishing it, and the success of the experiment Justi- 

 fies a continuance of the method.
