One of the most valuable privileges which students at Harvard are enabled to take advantage of is the great library system. It is now proposed to make it still more useful by the establishment of a special library of German literature. The German department of the general library is well equipped but it is thought most of these books ought to be in general circulation. A special library could be made much more complete and systematic. By having a separate room, as in the Evans library of political science, greater seclusion and better opportunities for quiet study could also be secured. The Evans library has proved of the greatest service to students of history and political science and by the proposed scheme the same advantages would be furnished to German students. The proposition is a good one and deserves the support financial and moral, of all interested in the study of German literature.
