The Punahou Letter for May is
largely devoted to articles on Cooke
Library" the munificent benefaction
OF the late Charles M. Cooke and
Mrs. Cooke. There is a fine illustra-
ton. of the building itself, also one
of the reading room, the latter indi-
eating an apartment that vies in beau
ty with the reading rooms of the
Boston Public Library and other great
mainland libraries.
There is an article on alumni Hall
and It's Purposes" opening with this
statement: "The alumni officers in
conjunction with the president and
trustees of the college have decided
that Punahou's greatest present need
in equipment is a hall which will
serve certain general purposes"
Another article tells what students
at Punahou Receive. OF the papers
on the library the following, by Flor
ence Hall MacIntyre, is the leading
one:
On a well-kept lawn, shaded ny
large trees, about half way between
Science Hall and the swimming tank,
and just back of the site Of the old
cctagon stands the Cooke Library and
Art Gallery. The dignifed, Quaker
gray exterior, of unadorned Hawaiian
lava stone,' gives no hint of thel beau

the main room, the center portion Of
which is free from cases or tables
and serves as a hallway leading to
the Librarians desk, placed in the
center of the building behind deliv.
cry counter.
Reproductions in plaster of some of
the best examples of classic sculpture
are pleasingly arranged about this
hallway, and several fine paintings
carry out the intention to beautify
this very useful building as far as
practicable. There is an overhead
light of stained glass, bordered by or
namental plaster relief. This, with
ample window space, and other light
from above, has admirably solved the
lighting problem
On either side of the wide hallway
are recesses, partly enclosed by book
shelves. To the right, as one enters,
are the books for the use of younger
Preparatory students, all on shelves
low enough to be accessible even to
the little ones. Everything is being
done to encourage the younger pu-
pills to form the library habit, and
this wing is being more and more
used by them. Current magazines
are kept here, as well as the bound
Volumes Of periodicals.
To the left of the entrance are the
reference books in common use by all
students. Encyclopedias and diction.
