E^tabrook of Augusta, Ga. in December of 1970. It was used for the first time by the 1971 touring choir and later that spring for their concert in McDowell Colimins Auditorium as well as for the 1971 Chrisbnas concert on the steps of the Roberts Vaughan House. A harpsichord is a valuable, stringed, musical instrument. It is equipped with a keyboard as a forrunner of the piano. It has a resemblance of a clavichord and a small grand piano except that when the keys are pressed, the wire strings are plucked by quills or leather-tipped points con nected with the keys rather than struck by hammers. This produces short, abrupt tones. It is appropriate that the events of this time, 1975 and 1976, can find a revived usage of the in- stnunent which was invented and used from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries and has now been revived in the twentieth century.

Mr. Timothy Coggins, Reference Librarian, has a Reference area set up at the back of the Library-. He has a reference desk, a visiWe file of our periodical holdings, and a display area for new books. Mr. Coggins stands ready to assist students in their research. This area allows us to separate reference work from circulation activities and places the Reference Librarian closer to the major reference tools. Hopefully, this will enable you to receive help where and when you need it. ^veral students have com plained about noise in the library. We are trying to do something about that, too. The librarian on duty will maintain a degree of quiet coodusive to study on the main floor. Mr. Clifton Greer has been employed to maintain this same de^ee of quiet on the mezzanine floor at night. If the space where you are trying to study is too noisy, please bring this to the attention of the librarian on duty. By doing so, you help the librarians to keep Qie library quiet enough to study.
