COLLEGE NEWS RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE LIBRARY
The Alumni Alcove in the College Library was enriched by a number of volumes during the year 1913. These books represent, of course, but a part of the output of Dartmouth graduates, but it is hoped that the proportion here annually recorded, may continually grow larger. The list of such books presented to the College follows:
Proceedings at the Celebration of the Restoration of the Birthplace of Daniel Webster, containing an address by Judge David Cross '41; Exeter in 1830, by Dr. W. G. Perry '42; A Collection of Papers and Addresses by John D. Philbrick '42; John Kimball, Memorial 1821-1913, by Hon. B. A. Kimball, '54; "The Rock That Is Higher Than I", by Rev. J. E.
