 THE LIBRARY MATTER
 Washington, April 16, 1903.
 Washington, Conn. A Dear Sir: I assume that in general way it is known that an effort is being made to construct a library building for the Gum Memorial library, which shall be commensurate with our reputation as a literary center, and am glad to be able to state that the project seems to be in a fair way of accomplishment now.
 MT Van Ingen has made to the con- mittee, of which am chairman, the very liberal offer that, if at least $25, ,000 shall be raised for the purpose, he will contribute S10,OO0 toward the fund, upon the condition that at least one-half of the amount raised shall be set aside as maintenance fund.
 Mir Van Ingen also offers site for the building, just north of Mrs Gal pins property, if that location is thought desirable.
 MT and Mrs Barnes havesupplement- ed MI Van Ingen's proposition with an offer to contribute $5,OOO, with the understanding that $500 of that sum is to be used in connection with the building to provide a memorial for their deceased son, Goodrich.
 In addition to these offers, another gentleman has signifed his intention to give Sl,OO0.
 The Library Association has about $1 ,000 on hand.
 The Gunnery alumni have promised over $1, ,000, and contributions from the alumni and other sources are expected the amount of which cannot be specif ically stated at present.
 AS will be seen, something ove1 S18,0 ,000 is assured, and the committed confidently hopes that the full sum o1 ,000 may be raised.
 Knowing the interest of the com munity in this enterprise, the commit tee believes that these facts should be generally understood, and will appre ciate contributions from those who are interested, to any extent which they may feel able to make. II l am authorized and requested by the library committee to receive sub Il scriptions. Very truly yours,-[O. H Platt, Chairman Library Committee
