7469 NEW BOOKS ADDED TO UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Total of 185,400 Volumes Issued During Past Year APPROPRIATION IS ASKED Many Works Required For Research Material Seven thousand four hundred sixty nine volumes, totalling an expenditure of $4,576.71, have been added to the Universty library during the past year, affording to the report of M. H. Doug lass, librarian, which was recently sub mitted to President Campbell. This brings the total number of accessioned boohs in the library to 106,049. This number is exclusive of the Fenton Me morial collection of law boohs, a large number of other unaccessioned boohs, and all boohs that have come into the library since the first of the year. According to the report 185,404 boohs wore issued by the library in the year 1921. Of this number 134,255 volumes were issued from the reserve depart ment to bn used for class assignments; 46,887 were issued by the circulation department for homo use, and 3,989 boohs were cheched from the circula tion desh in the form of “temps” that were returned to the desh after being read in the library. 36 Per Cent Increase Seen These figures represent a 36 per cent increase over the total number of boohs issued during the year 1920, a 72 per cent increase ovor 1919 and 160 per cent more than the total for 1918. In 1921 $7,527-78 wa» requisitioned by the administrative office for the library. This sum does not include the salaries paid the regularly appointed librarians and their assistants, but it includes student assistants, periodicals, binding, research material, law boohs, supplies, equipment and postage. Mr. Douglas shows in the report that this sum does not compare favorably with the amounts issued in former years. Tn 1920 the library was nl iowed $12,091.39, in 1919 $10,070.84 and in 1910 $12,623.23 was requisitioned to defray library expenses. lie points out the fact that since the board of regents in 1909 voted to expend $10,000 an. nually for boohs, periodicals and bind ing, there have been very few years when an amount even nearing that to tal has boon allowed. He further states that since the time this amount was granted there has been an increase of 279 per cent in student enrollment,' an increase of 70 per cent in the num her of courses offered and an increase of 579 per cent in the state appropria tions to the University, but no increase in the appropriations for boohs, bind ing and periodicals Appropriation is Sought In view of these facts Mr. Douglass’ nshs the board of regents for an ap propriation of $.30,000 for the year 1922, in order that there might be a sub stantial increase in the library staff, and a groat increase of material for re search worh as well as a much larger number of boohs and periodicals. He places great emphasis on boohs for re ! search work, saying that the increasing j work being done by faculty members nnd graduate students necessitates the library procuring a gaeat deal of ma trrinl. No real provision has yet been I mndo for supplying these needs. The practice of assigning class read > Vng in reserve boohs during the pnst ' -year has greatly increased the number .of students for whom reserve boohs J must bn provided. This is another j great drain on the library funds and another reason for the addition budget asked by Mr. Douglass. Memorial is Mentioned Further in the report is mentioned , the contributions made the Pauline, potter Homer Memorial collection dur Ing the past year. This memorial is a VielVetion of exceptionally fine nnd beautiful boohs Many other boohs were donated to the library by faculty students and townspeople- » Another interesting item in the re port is the progress made during the past year in developing of exchange relations with other institutions. The establishment of the University’s re search so'ies of publications has given D-e library something to offer in ex ri-ance for publications of other*univer sities. \mono H- s- entering into ex c-i'-np-e ro'at" ns are a number of Furo peon universities.

E. Milne, professor of mathe matics, who delivered a paper on the sub iject of “Damped Oscillations’’ before th Science club last night in Lieady hall. Dr. Milne revealed the results of re cent research in damped hydraulic oscil lation in the forms of mathematical for mulae. The formulae of unhindered os cillations such as those in pendulums and musical instruments have all been pre viously promulgated mathematically but Dr. Milne’s work is on a phase of vibra tions hitherto given little investigation. In water turbines it is common to find a surge tube directly above the turbine to accomodate the surplus inertia and un der certain conditions the pressure exerted in this surge tube is expended in the form of oscillations, according to Dr. Milne. To formulate equations concerning the various forces in such hydraulic turbines and their manner of exertion formed the basis of Dr. Milne’s investigations. The meeting was attended by a large number of faculty members of the science and mathematics departments who en gaged in a discussion on the results of the research after the address.

SCARLET FEVER AT WHITMAN DRIVES BETAS FROM HOME Whitman College, Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 17.—(P. I. N.
