The reading-room of the Christian Association in Brooks House has been changed from the Randall Room to the Shepard Room on the second floor. Copies of Harvard publications are kept on file, also the Boston Herald, the New York Herald, the Boston Transcript, the Congregationalist, the Watchman, the Outlook, Life, McClure's Magazine and Harper's and Leslie's Weeklies. The library itself contains an excellent collection of the most recent books on biblical topics, in the selection of which the aim has been to secure works most useful in the courses offered by the Association for Bible study. The nine volumes of sermons by Phillips Brooks make an especially interesting collection for these courses.

During the last few weeks, several hundred dollars have been expended in making the rooms of the Association more club-like and comfortable.
