REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. 



The work of the Library during the past year has been 

 mainly directed toward keeping the accessions catalogued and 

 in order. This, it is believed, has been successfully carried out. 

 The current numbers of the more prominent periodicals are

 volumes are stored in their pamphlet form, and much injuiy and 

 loss is the result. During the last year the Librarian was able
