Now a few words to President Angelí and the citizens of Ann Arbor: By your courtesy and kind hospitality, ihereperhaps never was a gathering n;ore beautifully and pleasantly ammged andconducted than this. Frora the time that the members arrived at the depots to their return were they treated with the most kind and friendly marnier. At the depot we were met by delegations of citizens with carriafrs in waiting to take us to the Court House, and then at the adjoumment for dinnnr each menjber was passed over to some citizen who escorted hiin to bis residence where every thing was done to mako them comfortable and foei at homo as could be. At the University wc were friendly met by tho different oflïcers of that institution and shown every particular of its workiugs. Ou the whole we ali feit that we were deeply indebted to the citizens of AnnArbor forthekindnessreceived from them while in thut beautiful city. Quincy Ilerald.

President Angelí, who has had a fine experieuce in the editorial ohair of a most prominent eastern Journal, knew the opportuuity was ofpered to give the peopla of Michigan an insight iijto her givatest of institutions, through the medium of the press. The library should be increased in number of volumes to at least 150,000. 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.
