By this method num erous books have been obtained this year from the University of Chicago library, the Con gressional library, and the New York public library. The , Archibald Henderson collection of. American drama, to which the volumes are being added, was established several years ago by Dr. Archibald Henderson of the University de partment of mathematics. . The University library has Jeen steadily adding to this col lection since the time of its es tablishment, and at present it totals several thousand volumes, many of them illustrative of the early period of American play writing. Many of the volumes in the collection were personal ly collected by Dr. Henderson.
