INTERESTING VOLUMES ADDED TO COLLEGE LIBRARY

Several recent acquisitions to the College Library are of peculiar interest to all Dartmouth men, because they contain autographs of Samson Occom and Eleazar Wheelock.

"Acts and Laws of His Majesties' English Colony of Connecticut in New England in America," a book of 406 pages printed in New London, Conn., in 1774, bears the autograph of Samson Occom on the fly-leaf. The Library is also fortunate in having two other books which once belonged to the famous Indian. Another recent acquisition is the Dictionary of the Bible, containing historical accounts of persons mentioned in the Old and New Testaments. This book published in London in 1759, is in three volumes, each of which had the signature of Eleazar Wheelock on. the fly-leaf.

The Library has recently subscribed to the North American Indian, a series of volumes picturing- and describing the Indians of the United States and Alaska, by Edward S. Curtis. This set is to appear in 20 volumes and was prepared under the patronage of J. Pierpont Morgan. The material was gathered by Mr. Curtis and his associates during a period of many years and, when complete, will contain 1500 full page photogravure plates, 40 of which are colored. The series is being paid for as published and the total cost will be $3500. Eleven of the volumes have been received to date and may be inspected at the Library.
