THE EUROPEAN DAILIES

Members of the University will find many reasons for taking an interest in the files of leading European newspapers which have been placed in the Union through the generosity of a member who chooses to remain anonymous. In the first place students of modern languages will find here an inexhaustible mine of present day idiomatic writing in five languages. Secondly, and more important perhaps, students of political and economic subjects will have an unequalled source of reliable information concerning conditions on the Continent and the opinions of editorial writers there. At a time when our own newspapers are filled with wild conjectures as to the financial status of Germany and Austria, for instance, the facts which are published in Vienna and Frankfurt are of more than passing concern. And thirdly, all who are interested in the post-war renaissance of music, literature and art, will be able to keep in touch with what is going on in the very centers of revival by reading the pages of papers from Milan, Geneva and Vienna. Add to the list of men who will make use of the new files, all who regard an acquaintanceship with international affirm and current events a part of their education, and there remain few, indeed, who will not welcome the addition to the Union's library.

The anonymous member has made possible the subscription to the foreign papers for one month. If enough interest is shown the period will be extended to include the whole year. It is unfortunate that the only practical way of discovering whether this interest exists is to ask men to sign their name in blue books stationed about the Union. There are some who will forget to sign, others who will enter their names without meaning a thing by it. In all fairness to the donor of the gift, the blue books should be filled out honestly. Don't put your name down if you are not interested; don't forget to put it down if you are.
