The UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.-We ara glad
to learn that the Corporation of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, at their late meeting, de-
cided to have the erection of fire proof
Library building begun without delay. Pro-
baby the work will be started about the
first of September, with the intention to
have the building inclosed before winter. 1t
will be placed on the brow of the hill, and
north of the present buildings; the exact
spot not being yet fully determined upon.
So valuable library as that of the I. V.M.
ought not to be exposed to the ordinary
chances of fire day longer than is absolute
ly necessary. The Library building is also
to contain rooms for the Museum.
