the country. The display case in
the library hall contains a set of

instruments which Dr. Jonas dis
covered in the ruins of Pompeii
Many valuable books now on the
shelves of our library came from
Dr. Jonas' magnificent collection.

one in the freshman class has
been carrying around for orna

The twenty-fifth American edi
tion of thi sdiscourse to end all
discourses on the subject of anat
omy apparently is characterized
by its similarity to the familiar
red colored twenty-fourth edi
tion with the exception of a few
new plates and an addition to the
section on superficial anatomy.
To save a trip down town for
all freshmen it might be com

are just as uninterested in the new
Gray Outline Series as in the old
one, holding the same opinion as
the anatomy department, that the
1,400 pages of Gray is the brief

Actuaries have figured, on the
basis of the number of transac
