Report of Library Committee

By beginning work early, the Library Committee was able to have 1,600 books on the shelves when the Union opened in October. This number has increased to 4,264 up to April 1. The chief sources have been as follows: A book fund of $20,000, given by James H. Hyde '98; gifts received from college societies and college papers, amounting to $1,747.80; a gift of $400 in memory of J. S. Tebbetts '80, with which 166 volumes have been bought; Mr. Edward Robinson, of the Museum of Fine Arts, has given 33 valuable books; J. B. Gerrish '71 has given 275 volumes; Small & Maynard, 100 volumes; Mr. H. O. Houghton, $100 worth of Houghton, Mifflin & Co.'s publications; Mr. Herbert Copeland & Day's publications. One hundred other persons have also made valuable gifts. The latest fund, $4,000, was subscribed by the friends of the late Robert F. Simes '85.

The aim of the committee has been to secure books written by masters of English; the more important novels of the day; books on sport and relating to the history of the University; books in foreign languages; encyclopaedias, and dictionaries.

It is hoped that the poor light in the alcoves will be remedied and that the rooms may be decorated with busts, bas-reliefs, and pictures. The Library Committee also has charge of all the pictures, bric-a-brac, etc., of the Union. A careful register of all gifts is kept, so that there may be no uncertainty in the future as to the history and source of the various objects in the Union.

Treasurer's Report.

The Treasurer's report from June 20, 1901, to March 1, 1902, was as follows:

Restaurant Department:   Receipts.  Expenses. Dining room,  $26,813  $28,749 Lunch counter,  1,636  1,538 Cigar counter,  1,933  1,608 House Department: Receipts: Miscellaneous,  $ 1,005 Active, Associate and Non-Resident membership dues,  23,505 Life membership,  32,150 Library,  7,182 Expenses: Office,    $ 2,544 House,    16,638 Library,    6,632 Funds invested,    29,400 Cash in bank,    5,953 Stocks,    1,162     --  -- Totals,  $94,224  $94,224

House Committee Report.

In substance, the House Committee reported as follows:

The use of the Union has increased greatly since the opening in October, and the value of the building in arousing spirit and enthusiasm in the University at large is inestimable. A striking example of this was shown during the football season last fall.

Various college activities have now become established in the building. The CRIMSON, the Advocate, and the Monthly are well settled in their new quarters; and the training tables have brought athletics in closer touch with other branches of College life. The various smaller rooms have been used nearly every night by the musical clubs, the debating clubs and other organizations.

Membership Committee Report.

The Membership Committee reported that the total membership of the Union is now 3,918, the numbers of the different classes of members being as follows: Active members, 1803; associate members, 805; non-resident members, 651; graduate life members, 642; student life members, 16; honorary, 1. All present members will be considered members for next year unless they resign; and all are strongly urged to get as many other men as possible to join the Union.

At the business meeting which followed the reports, a motion was passed that the House Committee should consider the advisability of having the dues of the Union placed upon the term bills. The meeting was then adjourned.

The announcement of the above results was followed last night by reports of the committees for the past year.
