At the recent sale of the library of G. W. Wales in Boston the library committee of the Union secured 159 volumes, many of which are handsome and valuable. These include the works of Burke, Cowper, R. H. Dana, Geffrey, Raleigh, Christopher North, Jefferson and Stirling Maxwell, also Mahon's England, Groat's Greece, Nichols' Literary Anecdotes and many other standard works. The committee were enabled to make these purchases by several special gifts for the purpose,--$200 from W. Phillips '00, $40 contributed by undergraduates through R. Derby '03, and $25 given in memory of J. S. Tebbetts '80. The books will probably be on exhibition in the south room of the Union library this afternoon.
