Senator r. E. Fast has donated to
the library of West Virginia Uni,
versity a valuable collection of
historical aud political books and
pamphlets relating to Virginia and
West Virginia, some of which are
exceedingly rare For many years
past Senator Fasts interest in the
history of the two Virginias has led
him to make collection of every
thing that he could find bearing on
the history of the two states. All
OF this he has now turned over to
the University. The only condition
made by Senator Fast in connection
with the donation is that these
books and pamphlets shall be
promptly and properly catalogued
and preserved. The University
greatly appreciates the generous
gift, and particularly appreciates il
as one more evidence of the great
interest that Senator Fast has al
ways shown in the University
