Faculty members have listed the titles of all the books they intend to use in classes , during 1949-50 and these will be listed on the white sheet in the first part of the buying list. One-half the original price will be paid for these, provided they are in good condition (very little or no under lining and good binding).

All of these, including some titles from last year, were sent to four leading used-book dealers for quotations. Prices offered on the yellow buying sheet were determined by bids received from book dealers. Titles on which quotations were too low to pay handling costs are marked “cannot buy’’: Student body cards will be needed for identification when selling books.
