The text-books are Prof. Kedzie's Manual of Analytical Chemistry, depos- 

 ited for sale with the librarian, but not charged to the library. 



Deducting from the total, $629.64, the library receipts proper, $52,92, we- 

 have the actual expense, $576.72, most of which was anticipated at the close 

 of last year, and provided for out of the balance in the Library Fund. 



For the exact condition of the Library Fund, I may refer to the financial 

 report of the Secretary of the College. 



The library now contains in round numbers 3,700 volumes, besides news- 

 paper files ; and its value, by very low estimate, is placed at $7,414 34. 



It is hoped that next year we may be enabled to add effectively to the books 

 of most frequent use, to perfect the catalogue of authors by adding the pam- 

 phlets as arranged in cases to be provided, and to prepare convenient lists of 

 the titles most frequently needed. 



Respectfully submitted, 



GEO. T. FAIRCHILD, Librarian.
