some of these young men who, like my

to compass your desire is to get FIVE
other people, equally desirous of read

cunious. Then let each buy volume
and your library is complete. 1t IS
a lending library, only one volume re-

LIBRARIES AND BOOK
LOVERS CLUBS"

With the new year we are all max
ing resolutions and resolution that
/ wish the readers of Book Chat
would make, is to read more books.
Newspapers and magazines are all
very well in their way, for recording
of transient happenings we could not
do without them, but after all the
challenge to thought comes chiefly
with the leisured. deliberate turning
over Of the pages Of book In a
good light, settled back in a comfort
able chair, we take our time mulling
over the reasoning of the essayist or
following the fate of the hero. There
is no loneliness to one who knows the
companionship of books.

out the important books upon the
Negro question and urged my readers
to buy them, when they could. l like
to think that the book shelves in many
homes are growing in number and that
publishers are learning that there is
a purchasing Negro public. But
there are other means Of getting at
books than the buying Of each one

too glad to find intelligent borrowers.
The stories the librarians can tell Of

$50 far as we can learn, the policy
of exclusion is based on the fact that
residence in Freshman Halls is now
compulsory and the opinion that as
men from the South and Southwest
come to Harvard in considerable num-
bers they should not be compelled to
room or eat with colored men.
"We respectfully submit that these
are not sufficient reasons for abandon
ing the long and honorable tradition
of Harvard College"
When Mr.. Bruce learned that it
was necessary to make reservation
some time in advance in order to be
sure of admission to Harvard, he ap-
piled to the registrar and President
Lowell answered as follows:
Dear Mr.. Bruce: Your letter to
the registrar about your son has been
given me. am sorry to have to
tell you that, in the Freshman Halls,
where residence is compulsory, we
have felt from the beginning the me-
cessity of not including colored men.
To the other dormitories and dining
rooms they are admitted freely, but in
the freshman halls / am sure you will
understand why, from the beginning
we have not thought it possible to
compel men of different races to re-
side together"
Mr.. Bruce, after time, answered
in scathing letter in which he con-
trasted his opinion OF Harvard with
the fact Of President Lowell's letter.
Mr.. Bruce's letter in part is as fol-
