meeting Of the Board of Trustees the report OF
the Chancellor Green Library presented The
report shows that the library has received z'Fh
new volumes during the year. OF these, LOO are

library was less than in 1899, though much greater
than in 1898. This decrease is largely due to the
unfinished condition of the library building during
