IT is with no ordinary feeling of surprise that members of the College will hear of the unsettled condition of the Divinity Library, discovered by the following extract from the report of the Librarian, Mr. Jennison. Speaking of the books, he says: "Some have been wickedly stolen; the most have been clandestinely borrowed. Students and others residing in Divinity Hall, and perhaps graduates not resident, have sometimes a feeling in reference to this Library (a vague presumption of right or property in it) by which they may be led, when opportunity offers, to take away books contrary to rule and without permission; and they may afterwards return them secretly to get a discharge from conscience; or else lose them; or keep them an indefinite time, with an undefined purpose and with no lively consciousness of wrong-doing."
The moral herein contained is not without its bearings upon the other smaller Libraries of the University.
