College library has received two valua-
bic additions this week. Miss Frances
MCKeCn has presented a parchment in
President Mckeen's handwriting, con
tanning full account of quarrel
between two students in college in the
year 1904. 1t showed how careful the
faculty was at the time of the slightest
breach of the college rules. The other
addition is Il portfolio Of thirty six
sheets pilates ten and twelve are miss
ing) that was made by the students of
Bowdoin College between 1875 and 1880.
for the purpose of elementary instruc-
ton in geometrical drawing. The
various works in French and English
at that time were either too far ad-
vanced or too elementary. This course
which was designed, and which was
published later. was found exactly
adapted to the needs of the college at
the time. The portfolio was presented
by Prof. George l.. Nose. who was for
mcrly at the head of the scientific de-
partment of the college.
The statements that have been made
in several Maine papers this week of
the selection of two Harvard professors
to become members of the Bowdoin
College faculty next year was prema-
turc. The professors mentioned have
the matter under consideration but
nothing definite has been decided. Two
professors are to be selected before
next year. one to fill the va
cancy on the faculty caused
by the resignation of Prof
William Macdonald which takes place
in juno. and the other to be an ad-
ditional professor in modern languages.
The exact nature of the work that will
be assigned to this second professor
has not been laid out, but he Will
probably be professor of Spanish and
assistant professor of French and Ger
man.
II is hoped that the proposed gates at
the main entrance to the college grounds
may he erected by commencement.
The first plan to he presented to the
faculty was found to he too heavy and
monumental To be appropriate. The
architects are again working on the
pla ms and it is expected will have them
ready to accept in short time. The
contract for the Hubbard Library
now and it is expected that work will
be well under way by the middle OF
May.
