Students who have been anticipating
reading our new books of fiction will
be glad to know that they are all now
on the shelves and available to bor

The use of the card catalog has been
much facilitated by the insertion of
printed guide cards. Try the catalog
and see how easy it is to find out from
it whether the book you want is in the
library or not, or whether the library
has any books on the subject in which
you are interested.
