One of the busiest places In the 01 .whole college during the school B year is the Library. It is here that ii the students do most of the prep- tl aration for their daily recitations. Si For there is hardly a lesson given that does not require some parallel vi ' reading in the library. tl The students are given a course c] of reference work during their ei v first term in college. The aim of Si the course is to make them famil- m iar with the library and to train i hi them in systematic and intelligent vl use of books. A study is made during the term of classification, w the catalogue CPIlor-i 1 InHnvpu una ai some of the standard books of ref- 1)1 erence. * C This library is catalogued up-todate by author, title, and subject, ei Before the end of the first six months of school, through the use li of the catalogue, practically every L> , girl in school is able to find anyjtt book in the library which she may; wish m The library now contains 13,- id 544 well chosen volumes. The colo- ta lection of old and out of fc print South Carolina books is said n< to be one of the finest in the T! State. We are subscribing to fifty-seven periodicals. Slpecial effort is being made to get a complete set of the magazines subscribed for. Among the most valuable recent ad- '5,' ditions to our magazine files are .' the following: Llttel's Living Age, in two hundred and sixty-seven j volumes beginning .in 1802, and cc Nile's Weekly Register in seventy- j83 five volumes from 1811 to 1849. ^Through the use of Poole's, which K| is an index to each article in j|C more than two hundred magazines| r" for the last one hundred years, and J? the Reader's Guide, which is an f) index to one hundred current pub- Vlications and magazines prove 81 a valuable part of our reference; collection. This library subscribes', to several daily newspapers, and j most of the county papers are sent as a compliment to the girls of ' each county by the editors of the (J paper.

Creat was the gloom cast ov< our neighborhood Thursday nig when the news was spread that Mt D. J. Alford was dead. Although being in declinii health for more than a year tl end came almost as a thunder be from a clear sky. Since her r turn from the hospital, about thn months ago she was so bright ai cneenui, even able to make sho visits in the neighborhood, \ hoped tliat she would be spared se eral years yet,but God wiled it n so, and Thursday night, though n its well as common, she was talkii with her loved ones around hi bed about eight o'clock, slept a few minutes, awoke and in a she while apporently fell asleep aga and then passed into the great b yond. Although the summons can so quickly we are assured that came not to one unprepared. B ing intimate with her 1 have heai her speak repeatedly of death n< with fear but at times almost Ion; ingly, since the death of a belo ed son, a little more than a yej ago. She had not a shadow ( doubt that her calling and electic were sure. She was a woman of strong pe sonal character, one of God's n< ble women, nobly planned. Sim being an invalid she was a great* power for good than many in fu possession of their faculties. Whei ever there was need within hi reach she was there in spirit not in person. Many there ai that will bless her memory fc words and deeds. She leaves to mourn their loss husband and eight children.
