President Angell Protests.
President Angell has Biled troest
with Senator MeKN\illan against the as-
sessinent of duty on book, philosophi-
cal and scienitiflc aiparatus and in-
strumients for college ue, which are
free under the present law. n a let-
ter to Senator Me0Iillan President A-
gell says:
"I a111 informnedIthat the xways Iand
tatans csniiiittoe of the house have
stricken out of the free list the lror-
visions for the free entry of ooks,
philososphical and scientific apparato
and instrninents intended for the use
of colleges, libraries and other 1nos-
prated institutions for educational

Purposes. I need not say that such
action would impose a heavy tax on
all the colleges and Universities in the
country, and I trust that the action of
the commsiittee wiii not mot wills your
atslroiation."
