Culminating widespread indignation over the calibre of reading material to be found in Stillman Infirmary, Arlie V. Bock, Hygiene Department head, announced to the Student Council last night a plan by which it is hoped that the intellectual side of the Infirmary will be elevated.

Along with Keyes D. Metcalf, Director of the University Library and J. W. Lowes '19, Financial Vice-President, Bock has promulgated a plan by which the University will immediately invest $100 for books in Stillman. This will be the start of a small library which will annually be increased by purchasing books to the value of about $50. The selection of the books will be in the hands of a committee of three students appointed by the President of the Student Council.

At its regular meeting last night, the Council voted in favor of Bock's plan, and the committee to select the books will be appointed in a short time.

"Rover Boys" and "Lefty Locke".

The agitation for a higher grade of books in Stillman has been smouldering for several years, and this year a group of Sophomores called it to the attention of the Student Council in a specific demand for "reading of a better sort than detective stories."

Last year it was asserted that a certain undergraduate had been forced to spend 30 days in the Infirmary with only three "class D" detective stories and "The Rover Boys in Mexico."

Right up to this year the proudest possessions in the way of reading matter in the contagion ward of the Infirmary have been three novelettes on the subject of the great national sport. The first is entitled "Lefty Locke in the Majors"; the second, "Lefty Locke in the Minors"; and the third, "Lefty Locke in the Bush Leagues." All three are held inadequate.
