private, when he could speak with con-

the ability, the courage or the dignity OF
that body. AS a whole, it concerned IL

the feelings Of these trustees. there seems to be
no doubt that the plan will be speedily carried
out
The suggestion of consolidating the Tilden

months ago seems to have been the first step
toward bringing about the greater consolidation
of the Astor, Lenox and Tden library interests
The difficulty Of Joining the Columbia Library
with the rllden Fund was that il would not
have met the wishes of SaInuel J. Tilden. whose
essential idea was that the library should be
free TO the public. This matter considered
