In reporting on the increase of the
library, Dr. Adams states: There
have been added to the collection
total of 2,285 volumes, 1,499 pamph-
let's, and three manuscripts.
''The continued generosity of Pro-
lessor J. Ewing Mears, M. D., L. l..
D.. of the class of 1858, in maintain
ing the J. Ewing Mears foundation in
sanitary science should not be forgot
ten,' says the report This founda-
ton was established by DR.. Mears In
1904, and through it the library has
acquired one Of the most useful and
valuable collections of books on SAM
tary science and related subjects pos
sessed by any College Of our class per-
haps in the United States.
"Some of the gifts, for one reason
or another, call for more particular
mention.
First, may be mentioned some ad-
ditions to our Trinitiana. Miss Edith
Hall, Of Hartford, through Pro1es-
sor Kleene, gave to the library two
copper plates from which were print
ed respectively the invitations to the
junior exhibition of Washington col
lege in 1S43, and the Junior exhibit
ton of Trinity college in 1916. John
Hall Sage, MI "a, L., 4OVI, VI ~
land, gave to the library a blank in
vitation to the junior exhibition Of
Washington college in 1892. Francis
e. Brownen, of Atlanta, Georgia,
through the good offices of A. c.. Lie
bert and Professor McCook, present
ed to the library two autograph let
tiers of Bishop BrownelPs. Both
speak at length of the founding OF
the college, and are of much interest
and historical value. Mrs. John II.
Caswell, Of New York, whose gener-
Gus gifts to the department of geology
will be gratefully remembered pre-
sented to the library 1876 volumes re-
lating to mineralogy and geology, in
GLIDING complete set handsomely
bound, of the Zeitschriftfur Krystal-
lographie.
"Acting President Perkins gave
to the library his beautifully, bound
set of Norroena, a, valuable collection
of early Teutonic literature.
"W. Graham Bowdoin, Jr., of
Baltimore, as the executor Of the
! Buchanan family, gave set of the
works of President Buchanan in II
large and well-bound volumes. These
works are Of great value as historical
sources, and are particularly welcome
in our library because of the ancient
connection Of the Buchanan family
| with the college,"
"Our distinguished alumns, Henry
| Campbell Black, LII. D., of the class
of 1880, gave us copy of his law
| dictionary and a copy of his 'Con-
stitutional Law.
| Many other valuable gifts are
mentioned in DR.. Adams report.
An enormous amount of catalo-
gueing and recatalogueing was done
during the year no less than 6,204
books and pamphlets having been
either classified or catalogued.
DIR. Adams reports that he had as
1 student assistants, T. H. Craig, '16;

TRINITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS LARGELY
FROM THIS STAT
Annual Reports Shows In
teresting Advance of Con
necticut Institution.

Interesting facts concerning Trim
ity college, it's student body, and the
! library are included in the report OF
Acting President Henry A. Perkins
and Librarian Arthur Adams to the
! trustees for the year 1915-16. Act
/ ing President Perkins reports encour-
agingly on the small number of men
dropped for low stand during the
year. He states in his report: "The
total number thus disciplined was
only twelve during the entire year, as
! against % the year before" He ac
counts for this Improvement by the
fact that for several years the faculty
! and president have held the students
! to very reasonable scholastic re-
quirement.
| ut requires a certain amount of
genuine work to hold ones place in
Trinity, and any policy aiming to in
| crease numbers at the expense OF this
/ spirit of work would be a great ca
lamity, especially at a time when our
country needs, as never before, edu-
Gated men who are both industrious
and thorough the acting president
reports.
! another, and a somewhat similar
i problem is the financial management
Of student organizations and class
enterprises he says. "Of course,
many of these activities lie outside
the legitimate sphere of faculty sup
ervision, but it would seem that at
least the class undertakings and
those Of the musical and dramatic
clubs, and the tennis and hockey
teams could be regulated in some
what the same way as are the major
| of h1otio r,iz Tho real diff
| f1culty to be met is that each new
class tries to excel all previous
classes in it's undertakings; moreover
the committee attempting this is
quite devoid of experience, and ap-
parently does not seven profit by what
may have been learned by the pre-
| ceding class. To meet this problem
there might be appointed one or more
/ members of the faculty to form the
! nucleus of a permanent board having
! supervision Of all obligations incurred
| in the ways mentioned. There would
undoubtedly result considerable saw
| ing to the students themselves with
an Improvement in the relations of
| business men to the various student
! organizations.
Where Trinity Gets Its Students.
''The wide geographical distribu-
/ ton of our undergraduates enrolment
has been in the past cause of salts
faction to Trinity men, says the re-
port, "for in spite of their small num-
bers, our students have had the ad-
vantage of association with represen-
tatives of all sections of the country
from all walks in life. This catholic
grouping of many types of young men
i is particularly desirable if a college
is to offer real preparation for life
IN democracy like ours. Any ten
dency to become a, purely local insti-
tuition >or to attract exclusively one
type of student is most undesirable
and should be vigorously resisted. To
see where we stand in regard to our
present representation, I have made
am estimate based upon our enroll
fnent for the past ten years, giving
the average percentage from the diff
ferent states. The following are the
results: ~. =.

London, Dec. 20-According to
some Of the newspapers, two days
experience of the first food control
measure, which regulates the num-
Der and nature of necessities served
in hotels and restaurants, tends to
prove it futile. They say that not
only has it failed to check the con-
sumption but in many instances it
has increased it. It is claimed that
there is no supervision and that many
customers, finding that they can in
dulge in several dishes without hav-
ing more than one course charged
against them and have availed them
selves freely Of this. Moreover, there
is nothing to prevent anyone from
taking a succession of meals in diff
ferent places. The papers urge food
tickets or a tax on hotels and restau-
rant bills as in Paris

The remaining three per cent. or
so come from 20 different states and
territories and from four foreign
countries Thus it is evident that the
student body at Trinity still main
tains it's representative character.
However, a comparison between the
percentage of enrolment from Con-
necticut and from all the other states
taken together shows a decided ten
dency to an increasingly local con-
stituency. In the catalogue for the
year 1864-5, the Connecticut repre-
sentation was 80 per cent of the to-,
tai, New York 1879 per cent, Mary
land II per cent, Massachusetts, 1872
per cent. and that of six other states
was 1879 per cent, with one student
from England. In 1849-5 Connecti-
cut had 31.7 per cent, New York
22.S per cent, Massa chusetts 7.3 per
cent, Michigan SIS per cent. and 1s
other states 31.7 per cent with one

The man comes very near be- ing an idiot when it comes to taking care of himself. How often you see him wearing a fur cap on his head and henskin shoes on his feet. an overcoat on his back and a thin shirt over his chest. He drinks whiskey that clogs the valves and beer that clogs the wheels, and at this sometimes lemonade, ginger ale, butter milk, ice water, hot tea and coffee. If you would take an OK and put him thru the same performance he would not live a year. The plainest laws of health are out ragged almost. every hour. Did Adam smoke? Did Eve wear corsets?

 As to Eve we cannot say, tho it is probable she wore form fitting fig leaves on dress occa- sions.

And while Solomon never, so far as we have seen, admitted chewing tobacco, we might surmise that ! he did because the advertise ments tell us that Men who chew are men who do, and Soloman certainly did Arkansas
