nesota Historical society has success
fully completed it's campaign for 1, 900
members by the end Of 1922, accord
ing to an announcement made by DR..
Scion J. Buck. superintendent. Plans
for the campaign were outlined al the

two months after the converting of The
first territorial legislature, It has de-
voted more than 70 years to the col
lection and publication of the histori-
cal records Of Minnesota.
That there is a growing interest in
Minnesota history is evidenced not on
ly by the increase in membership, ac-
cording to DR.. Buck, but also by the
enlarged use being made Of the society
resources. Particularly striking are
the figures showing the increasing use
being made of the library resources,
Less than 5000 readers were loaned
books in the main reading room in
1919. In 1920 there were 10, 900 loans
made and In 1921 the figure rose to
1900. 1t is estimated that 10000
persons have used the book at the His
torical society building during 1922
At the 74th annual meeting ofethe
society next month, Dr.. Folwell, whose
second volume of History of Mime
sofa IS soon to come from the press,
