118 STATE BOAliJJ OF AGRICULTURE. ^ ■ 



We are iiulchtcd to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Uni- 

 versity of Michigan for books loaned to us during the year, and desire to 

 express our appreciation of the courtesies extended to us by the librarians 

 in charge of these libraries. 



The library of the experiment station grows but shjwly. The additions 

 during the year number 187, of which 15 wei-e l)y purchase, 163 by binding, 

 and 9 by gift. The two libraries now number 44,o5() volumes. 



On the evening of May 12th, Governor Sleeper signed the Bill which 

 appropriated $300,000 for a new library, and we are now looking forward 

 to the erection of the building for which we have so long waited. 



We are sure that ever}- one, faculty, student and alumni, join with us 

 in thanking the State legislature for recognizing our need and meeting 

 it. and the Governor foj' signing the Bill, thereby making it effective. 



Respectfullv submitted, 



LINDA E. LANDON,
