COSTLY BOOKS

Bancroft Library
Comes Through
UnSCatn6d.
Volumes to Be Re-
moved to the
University.

BERKELEY, April 30-Through the
gloom created by the events of the last
two weeks and their effect upon the
University Of California comes a ray OF
light in the announcement that the
great Bancroft library, purchased by
the university last year, was unharmed
by the fire that swept San Francisco
and all it's rich, manifold treasures are
preserved to the university and the
State.
II was stated at President Wheel
er's office today that the work of re-
moving the Bancroft library from the
building at Twenty-sixth and Valencia
streets in San Francisco to the cam
pus in Berkeley is TO be commenced at
once. The books will be housed, for
the most part, in the upper story of
California Hall. Arrangements have
been made for the reception of the
volumes in that building, which is now
the administration building of the uni
versity. The task Of classifying the
books and making them available for
reference is a gigantic one and it is
not likely to be completed before the
summer months are ended.
The Bancroft library was bought by
the university for sI5O.oOO upon the rec
ommendation Of Professor Reuben G..
Thwaites of the University of Wiscon-
sin, an eminent historian. who made a
careful examination of the Bancroft
collection and declared it of almost
priceless value to the State and to the

ments that could not be duplicated,
