 ready for circulation. 



In the third story, the western suite of rooms is filled 

 with works on philosophy and religion ; while science has 

 its place in the eastern half. These books, it is hoped to 

 add to the circulation, without great delay. 



The department of sociology is to remain in Plummer 

 Hall, as are also the larger part of the collection of pam- 

 phlets, and the most of the newspapers, save those of Es- 

 sex County. 



The improved accommodations furnished by our new 

 quarters have been thoroughly appreciated during the past 

 year. AVhen all departments are in complete working or- 

 der the efficiency of the Library will be greatly increased.
