quality of the books taken out, we
were informed that Messrs. John
Daniel, Dennis Reid and Robert
McGough were the University’s best
•eaders. McGough takes out scarce
ly anything but reviews upon scien
tific subjects,such as the “Evolution
of Man from Monkey,” or a “The
metical Dissertation on Psychology'
and Transubstantiation.” Taking
into consideration the number of
books read, we are informed that
Messrs. Percy Jones and Sidney
Reaves take out more than any oth
ers in college, Messrs. Frank Dean
and J. G. Bassinger being a
close second.
Under Miss Frierson’s charge the
library is becoming more and more
popular. Last month 185 books
were taken out—a number largely in
excess of previous years. A very
line engraving, “Napoleou’s return
from Elba,” has been loaned to the
ibrary by Dr. Newton, and attracts
considerable attention. The Uni

has been elected for Volume III of

literary point of view seems to be
assured, let us begin to take active

make Vol. Ill an improvement in
this respect. In order to do it we
must increase our funds, and the
most satisfactory way of doing this
is by resurrecting the University

the purpose. Let us go to work in

AT THU. UATVERS IT Y LIBRARY.
A Reporter representative dropped
into the University library a few
evenings-ago and took his first ex
perience in interviewing, a result of
which is given be'ow'. Miss Frier
son, the librarian, says that the
most popular class of books in the
’library is fiction—a fact readily ac
counted for when we remember the
dry nature of our text books. The
most popular book in the library is
an old worn out copy of “ Surry of
Eagle’s Nest,” which is no sooner in
than out again. Dickens’ works are
exceedingly popular, but as there
are several sets of them the demand
