The Library announces recent
acquisitions to the Hanes Foun
dation for the Study the
Origin and Development of the
Book, founded last spring by the
children of John Wesley and An
na Hodgin Hanes as a memorial
to their parents;
The Library has acquired for
the Hanes Foundation a collec
tion of over five hundred vol
umes from the library of the
Reverend Aaron Burtiss Hunter
of Raleigh. A set of fifty vol
umes of the extra " illustrated
edition of the "Chronicles of
America published by the
Yale University Press, has been
presented by John Wesley
Hanes of New York City. Other
additions are a two volume folio
French atlas of the eighteenth
century and a publication of the
first Paris press.
The collection of five hun
dred volumes recently 5 acquired
from Dr. A. B. Hunter of Ral

years 1500 to 1900; the bulk of
the collection lies within the six

on geography, treatises on med
cine, and medaeval law as well
as a number of items from the
Aldine and Bodoni presses, bdth
well known publishing houses of
that time. This is the second
purchase made by the foundation
from Dr. Hunter, the first hav
ing been five hundred incuna
bula, or books printed before the
year 1500.
The Atlas is composed of two
hundred and forty large maps
published mostly t in the eigh
teenth century. These maps
were compiled by two famous
French geographers, Delisle and
Jaillot. Among the maps is" a
plate of North America showing
the Carolinas.
At a recent auction sale in
New York City the Library ac
quired for the Hanes Founda
tion a copy of the Speculum Hu
manae Vitae by Rodericus Zam
oriensis. This book was a popu
lar philosophical treatise of the
Middle Ages . and in this edition
was published by what is proba
bly the first university press.
In the middle of the fifteenth
century the University of Paris
felt the need for textbooks and,
as a result, established a pub
lishing house.' This was the!
first press to print in Paris, and
the example the Library . owns
is the thirteenth publication of
that press. The book has an in
teresting fhistory, having be

a well known book collector and

last year, who was the most
prominent collector in the Unit

you referred is, perhaps, taking
the matter a little to the ex
treme when he says that we
should go to church on Sunday
morning and stay in and read
our Bibles all Sunday afternoon.
I agree with him in that we
should go- to church every Sun
day, and that we should read
our Bibles. But I do not think
that it is, necessary to spend our
entire Sundays in so doing. How
ever, that freshman is, in my
opinion, not in the least disil
lusioned; on the contrary, he is
headed down the right road.
Personally, I should like to know

arguments . are right; how can
you get around them?
We of today need to watch
our steps. We are getting too
far awray from God some of us.
Some of us are getting to the
place where we recognise no
higher being than ourselves,
and, as a consequence, some
thing is going to happen, sooner
or later. It has always happen
ed in past times, and it will most
surely happen in the present
and future. We had best "look

your signature is certainly fit

disillusioned persons that I have
ever heard of, although perhaps
you yourself are not to be criti
cized for it. You show very
plainly that you have riot seen
the inside of a church in quite
a long time by the above quota

had studied the situation before
making your "comments, you
would have discovered that the
situation, at present, is just the

Strud Nash Is Captain

Nash is a Tar Heel by birth.
He plays right halfback, is five

is a good student.
It was not announced that the
election would be held last night
until the squad was returning

afternoon. "
