A library building should bo built for library purposes alone, capable of acootnmodiiting tho large number of students who seek information from i's shelves. Thereare at present about 1,400 students pursuing study at the University, not one-twentieth of whoin can be accommodatedfrom the library. Whero are the large hearted, liberal men of wealth of Michigan on this question of the needs of the University 't Well did Dr. Angelí say, " here is an opportunity for the future." Let some millionaire drop a hundred or two thousands of dollars into a University library fund.
