DONATED Bates
Estate of Isaac L. Rice, New
York City, Gives Valuable Col
lection of French and German
Books

Lewiston, Me-, Feb. 1O.-The most
valuable acquisition in the history of
the library has recently been installed
at. the Coram Library at Bates Col
lege. A collection of French and Ger
man books. was given to the college by
the estate of the late Isaac L. Rice of
New York City. Mr.. Rice was for
many years staunch friend Of Bates,
and during his life made many contri-
buttons. He was an eminent scholar,
jurist and lecturer. and was a mem
Der Of the corps of instructors of Co.
! lumbia University. He was both a
scholar and inventor, for besides be-
ing the owner of the North American
Review and Founding the Forum, he
was interested in submarines, and
bought the Holland Electric Boat Com
pany, now one of the largest concerns
manufacturing submarines. He intro
duced the electric light into the Pull
! man berths. Mr.. Rice was always a
| scholar in tastes and pursuits.
! The library which Bates was so for
tunate as to receive is considered the
largest, private collection in the Unit
ed States. 1t contains 1900 volumes
and is valued at about $4,000. The
books are mostly on the subject of
French history although there are
probably $50 German books. One of
the conditions of the gift was that the
collection be placed in a separate room
and accordingly the books are arrang-
ed in the Art room on the second floor.
| The work of cataloging these books
has been going on since the books ar
rived, nearly two weeks ago. The
, French books will remain in the Art
room in the appropriate cases which
were given with them but the German
books will be placed in the general
stack room.
bronze bust of Mr.. Rice is now
being made which will be placed in
the room with his collection at Bates.
In order to properly receive such a
munificent gift there will be a public
reception at the college soon 1t was
hoped that Mrs. Rice could be pres :
ent, but illness has prevented her from
coming. It is possible though that she
will be able to be here by February
%. which is the date planned. If neces-
sary later date will be chosen SO that
Mrs. Rice can be present.
This addition to the college library
will bring the total number of books
mp to about $4,000 Although not as
large as many college libraries. Bates
has a very useful collection of books.
The number is constantly increasing
and the many endowments enable the
librarian to purchase up-to-date and
much needed works

Y. M. c. A. basketball team won from
the Colby Comets of Waterville Thurs
day evening at the ''Y'' gymna stun, tho
score being: Y. NJ. c. A. SO and Colby
Comets 80. Both teams worked hard from

and the game proved to be one of the
fastest that has been played in the Y. NJ.
c. A. building this winter.
During the first few minutes of the
game the passing of the Y. NJ. c. A. boys
was decidedly off color, but they soon
tightened up and were playing in regular
form. Mares of the visiting team made
the first goal from the floor of the game
and soon followed it by. another Cap
tain Dunnack missed two. goals from
fouls for the Colby team. Goodman and
Thompson each made a goal from the
floor but Captain Thompson of the Y. NJ.
c. A. team missed goal from a foul.
Cooper dropped the ball into the basket
for two points for the "Y' and his shot
was soon followed by anotner pretty sho.
by Stilphen. At that point the speed Of
the game had reached it's top notch and
at the end of the period the Y. M. c. A.
score being 20 to 16.
In the second period the visitors cut
down the lead of the Y NJ c. A. team
to single point. Each team played
fast game and the period was very inter-
esting.
All the members of the local team
put up a stiff fight. Thompson and
Goodman led the team in shooting
goals from the floor, Thompson secur-
ing total OF four and Goodman three
Thompson made seven points on fouls
during the game.
Mares and Dunnack were the star
players for the Colby quintet The sum-

young ladies. All had a few drinks to-
gcther and when the two contidin:,
youths woke up their friend the ladies
and their money had departed. They
hied themselves to the police station
and informed the marshal Of their sad
plight. He soon located the friend on
the train about to start for SkoWhe

him to the station and he was the
guest of the city Thursday night. The

neither could they tell where the
house which they visited was, so it is
