College of ST. Thomas: The library
has been improved so much during
the past three years that it ranks to-
day as one of the best independent
or college libraries in the state. I'm
der the direction of Miss Mary Griffin,
trained librarian, some fifteen thou
sand volumes have been cataloguad
according to the Dewey decimal sys-
TEN, making them readily accessible
to the student readers. An attempt
has been made to develop a practical
working library in the various depart
ments, so that considerable supple
mentary reference work can be done
in connection with the high school,
but especially with the college
courses. The English shelves with
5000 volumes, range from the Anglo
Saxon period to the contemporary
novelists. The French collection of
1000 volumes cannot be duplicated in
the state for works of rarenesS and
historical value. The German and
Latin departments are adequately
supplied, as is the psychology depart
ment through the loan of Rev. Joseph
Schabert's well selected private IL
brary For the pre-seminarians the
sections of philosophy and religion
are proving particularly attractive.
The Irish library established by the
HibernianS of Minnesota is growing
under the careful management of Rev.
James Cassidy. In science a large
section is being built up to supple
ment the laboratories under the di-
rection of DR.. Richard Purcell Con
siderable pains have been given to the
selection of strong historical collec-
ton in the American, English, and
modern European fields, while at pres
ent daily accessions are made to meet
the needs of recently inaugurated
courses in economics and sociology.
One is particularly impressed with the
number of students who are taking
advantage of the library, and with the
scholarly guidance which the libra
rian so graciously gives the young
scholar
While the library does not receive
the number of gifts which might be
expected or desired, still some 1000
volumes have been added in the past
three years through the donations of
professors, priests, and students.
