E GORDON BILL, Dean of the Faculty, recommends the following books: Wilderness Wanderers, by W. and L. Chapman. A charming narrative of adventures among wild animals in the Rockies by a young broker and his wife who had sense enough to go back to nature before they were too old to enjoy it. The Ugly Dachshund, by G. B. Stern. One of the most delightful dog stories I ever read telling of a Great Dane who being brought up among Dachshunds always thought he was one until he met his mate. Drivers Up: the Story of American Harness Racing, by Dwight Akers. To one brought up on a trotting horse farm in Nova Scotia where the stock all came from Kentucky, this is one of the grandest books I have ever read. Incidentally, the very numerous Currier and Ives' reprints make the book very well worth looking at even if you know nothing about harness horses. Building the British Empire, by James Truslow Adams. This is such an enthralling book especially to one sympathetic with the history of the British Empire that for about the first time in thirty years I am reading a book aloud to the family. Out of Africa, by Isak Dinesen. A topnotch narrative of life in a primitive part of Africa by a cultured Danish farmer- doctor.

Suawanee River, by C. H. Matschat. By and large an excellent description of life in the amazing swamps which are the headwaters of the Swanee River, by a woman botanist who was interested in many things besides flowers. In the Lena Delta, by Melville. This book published in 1885 should be brought to the attention of all people interested in tales of the Arctic. It is the source book of "Hell on Ice" and in my estimation is a classic of excellent and interesting writing.
