that had been felt for some time, Until

pend almost exclusively upon the text

parting knowledge to students, Now IL
Is possible 10 supplement these agen-
cies with 3 system of individual re-
search which is generally conceded TO
give best results. The library is thus
more than mere shelter for books; it is
part OF the college itself and is used
daily by nearly all the students. In adj
djtiop to the usual stack and reading
rooms, il contains much needed offices
for the executive staff Of the school, a
lecture room and museum. The
erection Of the library is accounted the
most important step yet taken toward
greater Augustana.

Of Minneapolis, another friend Of the
school, on learning Of Mr.. Ericsson's
bequest, offered $4,000 additional If
| the conditions named in the will were
met. Again a canvass was undertaken
and with such good results that the
/ $4,000 has now been pledged Thus
the school adds $4,000 TO its endow-
ment fund.
