Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—A very important development is indicated in a report of the Council recommending the institution of a library building fund. The need to move the University Library to a fresh site, where it would have room to grow up to its present needs, while keeping an eye on the future, has been urgently before the University for some years, but the sum of £500,000 required for the complete scheme has seemed prohibitive. The Council has, however, found ways and means to finance a scheme of half that amount, and that would enable a substantial part of the new library to be erected. A recent bequest of £65,000 and other available monies are all to be devoted to this one purpose, and a recent increase in the University income under the new statute is in large part also to be assigned to the Library.
