 The Yale News yesterday contained communication from Prof. Lounsbury in reply to number of questions in re- gard to the college library. Prof Louns- bury speaks of the great value of the 2 library and says that it contains about 225,0o0 volumes. which is valuable as far as 1t goes, but it does not go far enough. He says that the library has received the least attention of any de- partment of the university from gradu- ates of the university. He characterizes the present library as "a splendid nucle- us for further eXtension." He says also that it is only about half the size of the library at Harvard, and unless means are speedily taken to strengthen the Yale library's resources it will soon fall far behind several of it's rivals.
