Gift of SLIGO Worth of Books.

Class of 1875, Bowdoin College,
which has proven one of the biggest
benefactors of the college, has Just
made another valuable gift to Bow
doin, according to an announcement
made by Prof. William E. Lunt of the
history department, Thursday morn
ing.
THE class of 1875 has just given
the college the largest single gift of
books the college has ever received.
1t consists of the Roll series of pub
lications of the National Records of
England, and is in two parts; the first
part of $50 volumes, and the second
part of $50 volumes. The value of the
gift is $500. The library already has
the books of the Record commission
which the English government began
to publish in the last of the 18th cen
fury. The same class has also just
given the works of the historical
manuscripts commission. This is a
collection from private sources in
England of other national documents,
and consists of 100 parts and is valued
at 500. All this gives to Bowdoin
library practically a complete set of
old English public documents, and
makes the Bowdoin library one of the
best equipped for the study of English
history of any college library in the
country. These documents also have
an important bearing on the study of
American revolutionary history"
