 received and filed, together with the card indexes sent out by the U. S. 

 Dept. of Agriculture, and which cover the publications of all state ex-

The library hours remain j^ractically unchanged. During the extra 

 hours of opening the library has been in charge of Mr. C. H. Spurway, a 

 senior, to whom our thanks are extended for efficient service. Our reg- 

 ular assistant. Miss Agnes Crumb, has been faithful and painstaking in 

 the discharge of her duties, and we are glad to retain her for another 

 year. 



The number of books drawn from the library during the year was five 

 thousand five hundred thirteen. No record can be kept of books used in 

 the library. 



Fines to the amount of |35.86 have been collected. 



Through the courtesy of the dean Qf engineering, Prof. G. W. Bissell, 

 we have been allowed to continue to use a room in Engineering Hall for 

 storage. This room, however, will not be available after Sept. 1st, as it 

 will be needed for class purposes. We hope to secure a place in the new 

 Agricultural building Avhich we may keep until such time as a much 

 needed library building is erected. 



To the library of the Experiment Station sixty-four books have been 

 added. Fifty by gift, thirteen by purchase, and one by binding. 



The college library now numbers 27,798 volumes. The Station library 

 contains 2,730 volumes. Total in both libraries 30,528 volumes. Included 

 in this total are all books in department libraries, so far as they have been 

 catalogued. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 LINDA E. LANDON, 



Librarian.
