TO BE INSTALLED
Student’s Book Bill to be
Cut, Says Dr. Boynton
ONE DOLLAR FEE ASKED
Volumes on Hand Now Being
Filed in Deady
Starting next fall, the physics
department will have a library of
its own for the physics students,
according to Dr. W. P. Boynton,
head of the physics department.
Recently the department placed an
order for 150 volumes, and next
fall it is hoped to place another
order for at least a hundred vol
umes. “It is hoped to have a
library of a thousand volumes
■within a few years,” said Dr. Boyn
ton.
“Under this new plan it will not
be necessary for the students to
buy text books for the courses,”
he said. “There will be a fee of
$1 a term in addition to the pres
ent fees which will cover the cost
of the library. On the long run
this will be a saving to the stu
dents. As it is, the greater major
ity of them re-sell the books when
they have completed their course
at a rate much less than a dollar’s
difference; losing at least the
amount of the fee. A student may
buy a book for $5 and after using
it a term sell it for say half, or
$2.50. This I believe is an aver
age case. Thus he would be out
$2.50. Under this new system, he
will only be out one single dollar,”
pointed out tho head of the depart
ment.
There is still another advantage
of the library system. It gives
greater access to a greater number
of books. One book might be good
on electricity, and weak on
mechanics; while another text
might bo just vice versa. The ad
vantage here would be that tho
best of material on each subject
would be available.
Dr. Boynton is planning a very
complete library in the field of
physics. There will even be texts
in foreign languages for those who
Tead other languages than English.
At present the department has two
sets in German; one a five-volume
set for those of at least a junior
standing, and a seven-volume set
for graduate students.
Still another advantage of this
system is tho fact that some of
the more expensive texts can be
bought. In this 250 volumes which
will be available next year there
is one singlo volume text costing
$9. It is planned on using expen
sive setB like this one for reference
work.
There will be a regular librarian
in charge of the collection. For
the immediate present one of the
laboratory assistants will probably
have charge of the books. There
will b<‘ a regular system for taking
the books out, just like the
library has. Dr. Boynton is begin
ning his library now. The depart
ment has some books on hand and
they are being filed in the new
departmental library, which is in
the basement of Dandy hall.
ARTISTIC BOOKS ADDED
TO HOMER COLLECTION
Three attractive books have re
cently been purchased by the
library for the Paulino Potter
Homer memorial collection of
beautiful books. “The School for
Scandal,” by Richard B. Sheridan;
“Quality Street,” by J. M. Barrie,
and “Merry Wives of Windsor,” by
Shakespeare, are the new addi
tions.
The volumes, all of the same
publishing company, are made ar
tistic and quaint in appearance by
plentiful illustrations of colorful
costumes of the period. The large
type and wide margins present a
very readable appearance. Illus
trations in all three books are by
Hugh Thomson.

GRADUATE IN AFRICA
WRITES OF MINE WORK
Claire Holdredge, Former Geology Major,
Describes Life in the Congo
After a year in a diamond mine
of the Congo, Claire Holdredge, a
former geology major and gradu
ate assistant under Dr. Hodge,
writes of his experinces. In a let
ter to Dr. Edwin Hodge, professor
of economic geology, Holdredge
states that he acquired the quinine
and helmet habit on the boat, and
was a veteran when he reached the
Congo. From Matadi at the mouth
of the Congo he took the train to
the interior.
“This railroad is characterized
by its ‘square’ turns, slow time
except down hill, dirty cars and
steep grades. It is famous for one
thing. It is said that each tie
marks the death of a native and
each kilometer the death of a
white man. It took an incredible
number of years to build it. Now
they are starting to widen it and
make it South African gauge.”
Three Americans accompanied
Holdredge inland. While making
ready for the trip up the river, he
remained in Kinshasa eight days,
most of the time viewing Stanley
Pool.
“In my opinion,” he writes, “this
view is surpassed only by the view
of Crater lake from the lodge. I
never tire of looking at it and
often wonder how Stanley felt
when lie looked at it for the first
time.”
Holdredge is settled in his home
on the Congo and has with him
another American.
“We live in a brick house with
a grass roof and a wide veranda.
We have several personal servants
who work only around the house—
that is for the two of us. Then
we each have a bag boy, a little
fellow who carries a bag with pen
cils, books, and a water bottle. He
is also official interpreter, for we
speak a language that is only
understood by those natives who
have been in contact w'ith the
white man for a long time. Those
who come out of the wilds cannot
understand us, nor can we under
stand them. These little bag boys
are really clever and can just
about read the white man’s
thoughts. Besides the personal
servants, we employ four or five
sentries and several tepoy men
who are all non-producers.”
Holdredge is making improve
ments in the mines he has in
charge, supplementing steam en
gines for hand mills. He expects
to return to the United States in
1925, after three years of the daily
routine of:
‘‘Each morning I get up at 6 and
go immediately to work. When I
arrive at the mine I find the mills
already going, so I go ahead and
call the roll. Then my breakfast
comes and I eat that and then 1
go about my duties until noon,
when everything stops for an hour
for the men to eat. My lunch
comes this time also. Work is
finished about 3:30. I weigh my
diamonds, have my tea, plan the
work for the next day and tell the
foremen about it. I then get on
my tepoy and go up into the house.
When I arrive there I bathe in
hot water, dress in whites, read
until dinner time, eat my dinner,
go for a short walk and go to bed.”
