  LIBRARY. 
  

  

  The 
  facilities 
  of 
  the 
  library 
  have 
  been 
  taxed 
  to 
  the 
  utmost. 
  The 
  

   number 
  of 
  loans 
  for 
  the 
  fiscal 
  year 
  amounted 
  to 
  14,436, 
  and 
  as 
  many 
  

   more 
  books 
  and 
  periodicals 
  were 
  consulted 
  without 
  being 
  taken 
  from 
  

   the 
  buildings. 
  Interlibrary 
  loans 
  to 
  accredited 
  libraries, 
  where 
  

   distance 
  permits, 
  are 
  being 
  continued, 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  instances 
  

   arrangements 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  for 
  the 
  photostating 
  of 
  pages 
  from 
  

   rare 
  volumes 
  not 
  permitted 
  to 
  leave 
  the 
  library.
