The Catharine L. Howard Library. 



This spring celebrates the 50th anniversary of the founding of 

 the Howard School for girls in this city. This school during its 

 twenty-seven years under direction of Miss Howard, left a strong 

 impress on the lives of many young women who, fourteen years ago, 

 established in the Science building, the Catharine L. Howard Memo- 

 rial Library of Science, a well chosen tribute to their teacher "in grati- 

 tude for the beauty of her character and the inspiration of her life.'* 



This reference library, the advantages of which are free to all 

 persons, meets a real need and is of untold public benefit. 



Respectfully submitted, 



GRACE PETTIS JOHNSON, Curator.
