is interested in the disposition of
millions by others, will do we'll to read
paper in the March Atlantic upon
Efficiency in Making Requests, by
William H. Allen. Mr.. Allen, who is
agent of the New York Society for the
improvement of the Condition of the
Poor, is an authority in his field. He
has seen requests go astray from the
purpose of the donor, and he has seen
them fulfil the purpose of the donor
and yet fail to be of real service in the
world. His discussion of the means for
making charity hit the mark, for max
ing benevolence blessing rather than
a burden to those upon whom it is be-
slowed, is a magazine paper of great
timeliness. 1t is as interesting as il is
instructive.
The two new Bowdoin books, "Bow-
dom Verse" and 'Under the Bowdoin
Pines," which the alumni, undergradu-
ates and friends of the college are eager
ly awaiting, are now in the hands of the
binders in Boston and will be ready for
delivery in a few weeks, says the
Kennebec journal. Since the an
nouncement was made that these books
would be prepared and published this
winter orders for them have been re-
ceived to the number of several hun
dred from all parts of the country.
Several in fact, have been received
from Bowdoin men in foreign lands.
The books will be companion volumes
in size, each having about 100 pages,
printed on heavy paper with gilt top
and rough edges. One will be bound
in crimson cloth with special cover de-
sign in gold and the other in green cloth
with special cover design in gold. The
poems included in "Bowdoin Verse"
have all appeared within the past 20
years in the undergraduate publications
of the college, although many of them
were written by graduates who have
achieved eminence in the literaryworld.
The 25 stories which appear in Under
the Bowdoin Pines" all deal with
college life at the historic old institution
at Brunswick and were all written by
Bowdoin men. Many of the authors of
these stories contributed stories to
'Tales of Bowdoin" which appeared a
half-doZen years ago and of which near
ly 1000 copies have been sold.
