It was founded in 1896, at the same time that the School of Mines was established. At the present time there arc about eight hundred and fifty volumes in the library, a num ber of them being duplicates of books in the Carnegie Library. This duplication is caused by the fact that the library in the Mining Building is the Mining Building is meant* to be u reference library; and therefore du plicate copies are necessary. The library at the present time also re ceives about twenty-five periodicals. It has complete files, to date, of both the Government Geological Survey publications and the United States Bureau of Mines publications.

Many capable performers from the present sophomore class will be available for Varsity competition this year, rounding out a well-bal anced squad Although some good matciial may be unearthed later, the team will be theoictically weak in the pole vault, shot and half-mile events. Durbur row and Montgomery, two dependable vaulters, are lost to the team by graduation, leaving Page and Bates the most outstanding #performeis. Football men will piobably be called upon to take care of the shot, while Nate will develop a half milor fiom the abundance of quartci-mile mate rial. Coach Cartmell will be well forti fied in the spunts this year, as Tor rence, Filkms, Kilmer and Bartholo mew, the latter captain and star of last ycat’s yearling team, are working out daily. Torrence is faster on the stait than ever befoie, and with Kar back he is likely to iacc in the 440- yard event.

While no haircuts sanctified the ceremony, the strenuous vocal at tempts of the eleven freshmen sin ners did much to add dignity to the occasion. Only one thing was lack ing, and that was harmony Gravest and Saddest The gravest case of the evening was that of Sam Wills; the saddest was that of John Rapino. The lat ter, in spite of one semester of cuc toms last year, was densely ignorant of all the college songs and cheers. Furthermore, besides his freshness, his singing was so execrable and so lacking in feeling that his immediate execution seemed painfully neces sary. Calmer spirits unfortunately prevailed, and lor the next two weeks Rapino will wear a sign with the words “Am I fresh 7 Just ask me.” As to Samuel Wills, that erring yearling, after being graciously in vited to perform his death defying cigarette trick, evaded the issue, say ing lie needed Ills Apparatus.
